Good morning.
*YAWN*
*STRETCH*
A very tired group of people landed in Minneapolis last night around 10:30 pm… worked our way through baggage claim, shuttled back to our hotel by 11:30 and started the drive home… arriving in Brainerd around 1:30 am….
I was one of them.
In typical me fashion, I should be sleeping, but no… woke up at 8 am and now I am UP, showered, laundry started and sitting in my chair with a cup of Honduras coffee at my side.
Its good to be home.
I doubt if I will do much today… I may do a little reading to relax my mind, I may take a nap… I more than likely will have Chinese for lunch as there is something odd that happens every year… I return home craving Chinese food.
I thought I would post a few pics this morning of some of the beauty that is Honduras as this is Saturday and Alyce is busy over At Home With Books with her Saturday Snapshots.
I of course, also brought back a bag of Honduras Coffee for one lucky commenter today. Leave a comment here and you will be added automatically into the giveaway.
Book Journey 
I’m glad you’re safe and sound! That tree is a treasure!
Thanks Kathy – the tree is so big 200 people could sit under it…. we did not have the time this time around, but in the past I have read by it.
Welcome home—your photos make me yearn to be on my way to a beautiful vacation locale for some R&R!
Honduras really is a beautiful country Sheila. 🙂
Looks like a great trip! Some great photos! Glad to hear you’re back safe and sounds!

Thanks Margaret…. a little tired today but thats ok 😀
What amazing pictures! I can certainly see why you would fall in love with that tree.
Thanks Trish…. one year I was reading out there and was stung by a bee. My ear swelled up and the rest of the group with me jokingly teased that I had “bee ear” and would need an extra seat for my ear on the way home….
such nice people I hang with…. 😛
Welce back from Honduras! I love your “favorite tree” pics! Rest up this weekend!
Thanks Linda…. it is good to be home.
Welcome Back! That tree is gorgeous. You should print it out, frame it and hang it in your home. Not only is it a great depiction of the wonders of nature, it will serve as a memoir of your trip.
That is a great idea Mona – I could print it out and hang it in my Reading Room… then I could “read by it” often!
Welcome home! Love the photos of trees and shops…and coffee. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your day!
Thanks for visiting my snapshots!
Hi Laurel, thank you. I am glad to be here and VERY GLAD I have no big plans on the agenda now until BEA in June.
absolutely gorgeous pictures…no wonder you love going!
Thanks Ruthie – there is obviously many sad pictures of Honduras as well… this is a very povertish country in parts and that is really why I go… but it is nice to share the beauty too. 🙂
Now I was all focused on commenting on your gorgeous photos and then you said you were giving away coffee and all my brain can come up with is: Coffee…Yummmmm!!! 🙂
I’m glad you made it home safely!
Thanks Alyce! 😀
Your favorite tree is starting to become my favorite! What a beautiful sight!
Thanks Vasilly. 🙂
That tree looks like a lot of fun (climbing wise)! And so pretty:)
We did not climb it this time, but I have in the past 😀
I wouldn’t have been able to pass up that apportunity either!
Sheila, thanks for sharing your photos – what awesome memories you must have of the area and wonderful people.
Thanks Mary – I really do. It is like seeing family.
Those are gorgeous, especially the flowers. 🙂
I wish I could grow them here Karen 😉
glad you arrived home safe…how do you resist all the goodies in the shop?!
Only so much room in the luggage Diana 😀
I usually purchase some coffee, hot sauce, bracelets, necklaces… this time I brought back some home made mango jelly.
Welcome back!! I really enjoyed your posts!! Rest up, the daily grind will begin again way too soon!!!
Thank you Lori 🙂 I have sat around.. read a little… napped a little…. and now am writing a review 🙂
Glad you’re home safe and sound! It’s been wonderful viewing your trip through your photos all week! It seems like a beautiful place! Now, rest up!!!! 🙂
Thanks Sharon – I will, the weekend is quiet and I need it that way. I have several reviews to write.
The close-up of the large tree is pretty neat. What kind of tree is it?
Do people often hang flowers on the edge of their roofs (picture 4) or is a tree planted that close to the house that it makes it look like they’re growing there?
OOh I knew the name of it yesterday…. gah…. starts with a “B”.
Oh and in answer to your other question… I think both. The one in the pic I think is growing alongside but we have seen some that look like they are started right on the roof.
Glad you are home safe. The photos (especially the ones of trees are awesome).
Thanks Diane… good to be home.
Welcome home! I love trees and flowers… everything looks so lush and green in Honduras. And sounds like there is good coffee too!
It is really green right now – they just finished their rainy season so it is pretty.
Not commenting for the coffee, as I only drink decaf (I know, it’s so wrong), but I had to say welcome home!
Thanks Jill 😀
Welcome home Sheila! I’m glad you got to visit your special tree again!
Thanks Angie 🙂
Dont count me in for the coffee but welcome back. I enjoyed all your posts and pictures as my knowledge of Honduras was zero!
Thanks 😀
Welcome back! Loved hearing your updates and seeing the latest pictures!
Thanks Jill… glad to be back 🙂
Welcome back 🙂 That tree looks pretty cool . Is it a baobab? They have those trees in Africa.
That sounds like it could be right Jackie…
Is there a tree house in that big tree?
Beautiful Honduras.
They put the wood in the tree so the kids climbing it would not fall… so yeah, I guess so 😀
Welcome home. You too some great photos! Makes me feel like we are there or were there with you.
Oh good! I love sharing the experience. 😀
Love the photos.. Makes me a bit home-sick for India though.. Is the tree a banyan tree (on second glance,maybe not)? And the photo of the cream-red vehicle (we call them auto-rickshaws in India – they are yellow and black there) is precious!
And coffee!!!!!can smell it already..
Can understand why you go to Honduras after seeing these photos.
Am following you now as well. Thanks for your comments and visit.
So glad you stopped by! Can not remember the name of the tree and that is going to bug me 🙂
Welcome home Sheila! Love the pictures, and agree that the tree is awesome! Hope you enjoyed your Chinese lunch. 🙂
Thanks Terri – I never made it for Chinese, fell asleep in the chair! 😀
I enjoyed the travelouge with your pix. Simply enchanting.
🙂
Thank you 🙂
Welcome home! And that is a really cool tree! It looks kind of like that tree at Disney … but real!
Oh it does look like that doesnt it! I had not thought about that 😀
Hi there, I started following you while you were away through a blog hop…I have enjoyed your journey, and of course would love to enjoy some of this coffee as well…Pinkim from TrulySimplyPink
Thanks!
Glad you made it home safely!! I know how tired you must feel, I’m always tired when returning home from a few days away!
That tree is now my favorite tree too!! It’s absolutely amazing!!
We had Chinese today too! Yum!!
I am a bit wiped out but its all good 😀
Thanks for sharing your pictures. Honduras is beautiful.
Glad you liked them 🙂
Welcome back, I love that picture of big tree, wow!
Thanks 🙂
I’m glad you had a great time and brough back some lovely pics. Welcome home.
Thanks Ryan 🙂
Honduras looks quite amazing. (I don’t need to be in the coffee draw thanks)
It is pretty awesome Louise.
That tree is amazing. I can see why it’s a favorite.
Sounds like you had another wonderful trip. So rewarding!
It was a good trip Mari, it was good to work a bit and see places we have not seen before and friends.
I didn’t realize how beautiful Honduras is. I love the photos. Thanks for sharing.
Sure Marie… Honduras has a lot to offer in beauty and agriculture
What a beautiful gnarly tree!
Glad you had a rewarding trip …
LOL gnarly…. 80’s flash back 😀
