Even though American Airlines had planned for us to fly to La Ceiba this morning, my dad (typically) changed the plans and hired a bus driver to transport us to La Ceiba. The ride up here was gorgeous, yet long. Along the way, we bought some type of fruit, called lichas, from some vendors selling the red, spikey sphere. The process to obtain the edible part was interesting. First, you would bite into the fruit, breaking open the tough outer core. Doing this, you would pop out the grape-like seed nestled inside the core. Then, you throw your remains of the outer shell outside the window and pop the prize into your mouth. Either sucking on it or biting the pulp off, you eventually come to a hard seed in the middle, which you, again, throw out the window. In La Ceiba, we are staying at a lodge. This ‘lodge’ is a hippie camp for couple’s retreats. We reallyyy fit in... Yesterday, we were able to retrieve only 17 of the 20 bags, the missing ones including August's only bag and the bag with all our schoolbooks. Thankfully, we found the three missing pieces of luggage and the airline flew them to the correct location two days later.
