A la Piscina - At the Pool

The last two Saturdays we have spent the day at a nearby hotel in Copan, The Clarion.  It is the nicest hotel here in Copan and has a beautiful swimming pool.  As long as we order and pay for lunch, we can stay as long as we want and use the internet there. 

It has been such a refreshing way to spend our Saturdays because it has been really hot lately in Copan.  We haven't had many afternoon showers which typically cools everything off.  Plus the electricity has been going out almost daily now and last Friday afternoon, it was off until the following Saturday afternoon - almost 24 hours!  The pool has made us feel like we are on vacation which is a great break after studying and going to school everyday without much excitement in our daily routines during the week.

 

We have had a few opportunities to go out on dates (2 in 7 weeks) and each time they have been extremely special.  We went out for pizza last Thursday night because we have been craving some "American" food.  What we found was a delicious pizza place and it was fabulous!  A nice change from rice and beans :)
