Honduras 2008---Take #3 San Antonio del Norte

The 3rd and 4th days of our trip were spent within and outside of the village of San Antonio del Norte. The village is located approx 30miles off of the Pan-Am highway which runs from Mexico down to S. America. Though only 30 miles off of a paved roadway, it takes almost 2 hrs to get to San Antonio because of the condition of the road. Just outside of San Antonio (which actually had electricity and running water....when it worked) was a small village where we set up a clinic. We housed the clinic in a small school (pictured below) and had our smallest amount of visitors that day: about 40 people.
The inside of the one-room schoolhouse. The tables with plastic bags on them shows our make-shift pharmacy.
The outside of the schoolhouse.
Larry sees a local cowboy who came to visit.
This house was located across the road from the schoolhouse. This lady was out several times throughout the day washing both dirty dishes and clothes by hand. It's not exactly a Maytag washer/dryer or dishwasher, but they make do with what they have.

Sarah...I definitely want to come and see the rest of the pictures. Maybe within the next two weeks, you'll have a day off that will coincide with my time off.
