Holy week

This week all of the 21 kids we have in school our out school on break. This week is Holy week. Lots of families head to the beach. Well not us, a week at the beach with 23 kids would be CRAZY. Wednesday everything in town started to close down and there was little transportation. Thursday a few things were open and then Friday (Good Friday) hardly anything was open. Tomorrow is a holiday still but I think a lot of things will reopen and buses will be up and running again.
It has been a good week with the kids while they have been out of classes. Although next week its back to classes.
Here it is part of the Catholic tradition that they make sawdust art rugs on the streets on Good Friday, during Holy week. Today we took the kids to Ojojona to go see the rugs that they made. The kids all enjoyed seeing the rugs. This is a huge tradition here in Honduras and most of our kids said they have never even seen these rugs. Here are a few.....
 This one here was made with sawdust, salt and egg shells crushed up.

This one the boys from Dorian's soccer team made.
