Have you ever seen a dead horse's carcass being eaten to the bone by vultures?
Down by the bay!
A few weeks ago, Abby informed me that on our usual route to school, there was a dead horse, just chillin there, that someone, I guess, had dumped, or even sadder, just left to die. In conjunction with this new addition to our morning school trip, was the overwhelming presence of black vultures spread out along our road to school. Finally, I put the two together. When I at last saw the dead horse's carcass it was, yes, in fact, dead and completely covered with vultures eating it to the very bone. This would have been a fantastic time lapse episode of Planet Earth. Every day we go by the body and every day there is less and less of it. First the skin was all gone. Then, the meat, and now it is just a skeleton. I've never seen anything like it.
Nature at it's finest.

eeeeeeuwuuuuu. And I was just telling someone how privileged your Honduran life is. BTW, glad your Spanish is coming in - kind of like wisdom teeth? Missing you a lot here - must be the holidays sneaking up on me.
I think this is the best post yet! So gross, but you talk about it as if it were nothing special. Miss you!
