Happy 2008 and so on . . .

Back from Honduras and my, what a country. So much and so colorful. The sunshine did me a world of good. And the parrots, which I adore, were the best. Perhaps best of all is that for Christmas, my mother gave me a robotic parrot--a Blue Macaw that's Made in China and does my bidding, including singing, dancing, and repeating everything I say. Glad to be home really, with so much to do this year. Hopefully I'll include a few more highlights from this last trip, but for now, here's a list of things that bit/stung me: mosquitoes, horseflies, chiggers, jellyfish, little fish with teeth, an orange-fronted parrot and a Scarlet Macaw. A trip is only as memorable as the wounds it gives you, right?
