Every week, we take Spanish classes at a local Spanish school here. Through Allan's teacher, we were introduced to two families that were interested in their children learning English. We now teach 2 children English every Wednesday night in exchange for a home-cooked meal complete with dinner conversation in Spanish! (so its good practice for us!) Little did we know that these families (the mothers are sisters!) happen to be the nicest, most-inviting families in all of Copan. Seriously. We love hanging out with them and they really treat us with good ole southern hospitality.
The first week, Allan and I tutored separately at different houses, but the next week, they wanted us to tutor together so my family could meet Allan, and Allan's family could meet me. They have been so nice to us. They invited us to hang out at their church one Sunday afternoon and watch the inter-church futbol games. Then they invited us to celebrate a birthday with them the next night. This was so fun. One of their siblings own a local bakery in town so we met at their house (because the bakery is in the basment of the house, see picture below!) and hung out, ate pizza (some of the biggest pizza I have ever seen!), sang happy birthday, and just talked for a while. We both are really excited that we have had the chance to meet families like this is Copan. We were thanking them at the end of the night and said that we always felt so invited by them and that meant a lot to us, and one of the fathers replied "You are always invited." That is so nice! :)
