It takes an hour to reach our mountainous destination. This is the "flat part" of the drive.

We can’t believe we only have one full day left in Honduras. We’ve had another beautiful day here and our crew is operating at full strength. We sent another team up into the mountains to try and finish up all the roofing projects. Tomorrow, we will go back to the mountains for a half day’s work for touch ups.

The Di Rito's haul the sheet metal through the Honduran countryside - the road is too rough to drive the trucks everywhere (Meghan can't bi-locate - this picture is from yesterday)

Meanwhile, back in Casa Guadalupe, a group helped out with the Cenaculo children’s feeding program again while another group did some work around Casa Guadalupe. Rust was scrubbed, garage doors were painted (four coats of paint was needed), and rooms were swept and mopped.
