Everything in one place.

       Traveling is the best way to discover new things. It is good to forget about busy, boring and stressful life that we sometimes have and traveling to a place we have never been before can become the best option. Within this, we can open our minds and watch how beautiful is our surrounding, also we can watch another way of life people have in those places, meanwhile we can achieve marvelous memories. However, the sad part is we cannot be in this place forever; the coming back home could be difficult but the memories and what we have learned about new places cannot be erased. Nevertheless, to achieve new experiences and to know things, we do not have to travel to a well-known and a famous place, we can found everything in our country.

      When I first traveled to El Paraiso; in the south of my country, I got amazed what I watched in there. I was used to watch a bustling, crowded and polluted city as Tegucigalpa. Therefore, when I entered to a village called Santa Cruz in El Paraiso, it immediately caught my attention. While I was in the car I could see houses hidden among the trees and they are separating one to another. The scene in this picturesque village is attractive especially because of its bunch of tall pines trees, admirable coffee crops and gorgeous green vegetation around there. It was afternoon and a pleasing sunset which allowed me to see a sunlight touching my face with dear like a kiss of my mom on my cheek it was saying to me “welcome and enjoy your trip”.

       The first sound I could her in the morning, was neither a car alarm nor a honking car; all what I could see was nature. First, an orchestra of birds woke me up, they sound like they were communicating each other. Outside of the house, it can be heard the sound of farmer animals looking for food; the cackle of the hens, the peep of chicks and the clucking of roosters. In addition, I could hear the squeak of a pot while it detached a powerful and a virgin smell of coffee freshly prepared. The first view outside was when the rays of morning pated the hills, then I could see a wonderful sky separating by sections of different shades of blue. As soon as I saw this marvelous view, the wind hugged my body while it was filling my chest with clear air.

       After breakfast people in this village usually go to harvest coffee surrounded by an amazing environment. We walked through a muddy road in where were notable footprints of horses and traces of snakes. Some people whistled to look for the other ones who had already been cutting coffee. When they found them, their work started; in addition there is lines of coffee crops and while one person walk through them, wet leaves like soft fingers touches this one person´s body. Time passed by and afternoon did not seem as afternoons, it looked like morning; it was always cold, clouded and comfortable. After people collected several bags of coffee we went to a river; we were between the wildlife, the river whisper pleasure while it reflected the sunlight, everything I could taste and touch was warmth.  

       Once again, I watched the amazing sunset and through the sunlight I could distinct dust particles, which were the only entertainment I had. There is not energy in this village, a sky with smiling stars and the chirpings of the crickets told me when it was time to go to bed; that is what nature was trying to say. However, it was too beautiful and I knew I had to take advantage of it; the sky on the city is quite different. The next day, I looked the same scenery but this time I said bye to a fascinating place, wonderful people, tall trees and the smell of an enjoyable cup coffee in the morning. Suddenly tall pine trees and green quiet vegetation turned into big buildings and noisy cars. Finally, I was in my ordinary city life, everything happened in the same country but I could discover different ways of life.

        Sometimes, we live in a country and we just watch the bad side, still we do not know this country also has his grace. Indeed, each country has his bad sides like pollution, violence and we as residents who dwell in here just care about our life. That is why when we travel and see that our way of life is not the only one, we can open our minds and watch our country also has enjoyable environments. Moreover, we can see people in village work hard still they delight a relaxing life not because they are less busy it is all thanks nature. Therefore, after watch all this beauty is almost impossible leave those places. However, the best part is what we have learned; it means what we have achieved in our mind. To sum up, the most important thing is we can appreciate this divergence in our country called Honduras.
