Yesterday we had the opening ceremonies at Hope Farm. Several countries were represented, though all of the athletes were Honduran or American. There was a creative drama enacting the founding of our neighborhood, Villa Alicia. There were flag ceremonies, anthems and then the sports began. John has some photos and will likely post them on Facebook if he has not already. Will try to get a link to those as soon as possible.

I found out that the dark chocolate I am making is vegan. I am from Texas where beef is as sacred as cows are in India, but for very different reasons. Now I add a T-bone to every batch.
