Gracias
The place I have called home for the past three years. Located at the base of Mt. Celaque (the tallest mountain in Honduras), Gracias is a quiet mid-sized pueblo in the department of Lempira. Life in Gracias can be interesting. We often don't have running water or electricity. You'll probably look out your window to see a goat or other farm animal staring back at you. Mastering the art of drying laundry during rainy season can be tricky. But, I have enjoyed the breathtaking views and natural resources that Gracias has to offer. I can take a hike in my own backyard or stroll over to take a dip in the natural hot springs during the evening. Most of all, I have enjoyed getting to know the people of Gracias. They have welcomed me with open arms and extended a helping hand on more than one occasion. I will forever hold Gracias and the friendships I have made here close to my heart.
Hey Julie,
ReplyDeleteForgive me for the random posting (saw your blog via Google images), but I'm considering living in Gracias for a couple of months. How horrible are the electricity issues? I work online, and so it is very important for me to be able to access the Internet and have electricity at all times... a shame, since Gracias sounds really cool.
If you are able to, by the way, I'd really like it if you could write me back at altermoderned@gmail.com. Would appreciate it so much!!
