Day 7

Our last day in Honduras and Central America was memorable! We all slept in a little again. Then we toured Puerto Cortes as well as the Maersk facility located in the port. We were pretty lucky because Maersk was able to arrange a fantastic tour of the port. We started at their facility and watched a couple containers being moved around (which is an amazing sight because containers are huge!). Then we toured the actual port from the sea! The director of the port arranged a tugboat to take us around the port. That was pretty great except for the fact that most of us got some interesting farmer's tans! After the tour of the port we split up and half of us went to the market with Joao and half went to the mall with Laura. We went to the mall to get a little retail experience in Honduras. There was only one department store, but it carried everything from clothing to deodorant to craft supplies! For our last night in Honduras we had another dinner at Isabella..and it was just as good as the night before! The hotel is gorgeous! Mr. Harazin and Mr. Dillo gave us all "awards" that night. Sarah Margaret got the loud award because she is pretty quiet most of the time except for this night, Mike got the gooooaal award because he is slightly obsessed with soccer, Ms. Gibson got the most questions asked award because she had the most questions for everyone, and I got the I got a job award because I was pretty excited about hopefully getting an internship in Honduras! Dinner was fun, but we had to get going a little early because our flight left the next morning at 8am!
