It's a relief to be out of Tegusigalpa. Comayagua is a lovely little town very similar to Granada in Nicaragua. On our journey to Comayagua we made a stop to try the local pork rinds. MMmm they were good and greasy.
We played at the the park, or tried to but the rain pushed us into the cultural center. But there was many good things about that. First it rained! First time it has rained since we've been in Central America which also meant it was much coooler. Second it meant that we all scrunched in to the courtyard that was partially covered which meant it was way more intimate. Before we played there was an amazing marimba band rehearsing. Here's a clip. the guy closest to me has a part similar to what the mid horn section has in a brass band. It's soo cool.ahhh, my camera takes such dark video, imagine that you can see that guy on the end. It's really cool
Then we played for lovely families, a group of Americans from Tennessee, a man and his wife from Homeland security and the sweet mayor of the town. It rained throughout the night and just set a cozy mood.
After this we went out for dinner. This town is sooo weird because it has tons of franchises. Any fast food that we have in US they have here, even Popeye's chicken! So the places open were limited, we settled for pizza hut. But this pizza hut had Azteca soup, flan, and orchata. It was a good night we had a lot of hearty belly laughs at the table mostly about dogs and monkeys.
Off to San Pedro, a bumpy 3 hour journey.
