Tegucigalpa

We are finally back in Tegucigalpa- briefly! We spent most of the last week in a very small town called El Jikarito, in the Zamorano Valley near Tegucigalpa- staying with very good friends of Luis. The idea was to meet with a research contact in Zamorano (where there is a large agricultural college with a strong development focus) and spend some time reviewing notes. Well, the meeting worked out well, and some other work got done, but much of the time was spent socialising- catching up with friends, and, uh, shopping (in Tegucigalpa and in Valle de Angeles, a town famous here for its crafts and touristy souviners). However it's now time to get serious again. Tomorrow we are off to a small town called Sulaco- 2 hours on good roads, 2 hours on dirt roads and probably in a chicken bus. And we just saw the weather report, with heavy rain warnings for much of the country. I guess one has to be a bit of an adventurer to do this type of thing!
We will be in Sulaco approximately 2 weeks working with a medical team from Texas. This time I shouldn´t be struggling with nausea and fatigue like I did during the last time (morning sickness and research in a developing country do not go particularily well together!). I´m not sure about internet connections there but will do my best to update this site if I can.
