Independence Day

Today, September 15 is Independence Day in Honduras.  To celebrate, Jacob's school held a cultural fair yesterday (Saturday).  Each class represented a different department (province) of the country.  We had a wonderful time learning about our new country, sampling foods from different regions, and meeting students and parents.
