Today we went to a local tourist destination called the "Valley of the Angels." This involved walking around lots of similar shops that sold lots of similar boxes and definitely-genuine football shirts.
There were also machetes, which we decided not to buy on advice that we may get put into a Honduran prison cell for the night if our luggage were to be searched.
There were also gifts for the mentally ill: a wide array of dead frogs that had been dried out and nailed into positions to look like humans. I decided to buy coffee rather than pay money for a dead reptile playing a xylophone.

In the evening we watched the kids give us a goodbye performance, which involved some dancing and singing. Then a few kids gave some emotional goodbye speeches which made us all want to stay for longer.
However, we decided that we probably should leave seeing as we've booked the tickets and all.

We went outside for a bonfire where we roasted (set fire to) marshmallows and the team were all given thank you cards. Except Pippa (who got hers on friday).
The trip has been amazing, but a part of me is looking forward to being on the right - as in 'correct' side of the road. (Dylan)
Our flight tomorrow is at 11.40 in the morning our time (or so I've been told) and we will be arriving at Heathrow early Friday morning. Thank you everyone for reading the blog and supporting us and the home financially and through prayer. Keep checking the blog and Twitter over the coming days as we should be posting some reflections and also some details about how to support the home and children through sponsorship!!! I will also try and put as many pictures up on both as soon as we get a more reliable Internet connection! Much love, Sam
