Weekend getaway: Valle de Angeles
Silvia Maria Casco & Tess Gool
Honduras This Week
Photo: Tess Gool/Honduras This Week
One of several vendors in "El Valle" offering handmade hammocks.
 A quick 22 kilometers north of Tegucigalpa, nestled in pine-covered hills, is the easy, tranquil town of Valle de Angeles (known as simply “El Valle” by the locals, pronounced “el Va-yay”). This irresistible hamlet lives up to every expectation and more one would expect of a small, colonial Honduran town in the hills surrounding Tegucigalpa. It’s no wonder President Zelaya has declared it an official tourist town. Full Article

Life in Rural Honduras: A Holiday Season with My Cows
Robert Conklin
Honduras This Week
half century ago, most American extended-families could count some farmers among their members. Most of the family knew and accepted that the farmers among them would not be paying a visit at holiday time. If any visiting with the farmers took place, it would be the townsfolk who would have to be driving out to visit the likes of “Uncle Fred on the farm.” Dairy farmers might be able to finish morning chores by 9:00 a.m., but then they would have to be close to the barn again by 3:00 p.m. to prepare for evening milking. (A friend of mine called it the “Twice-a-day Dairy Barn Fifty,” to account for his fifty cows and the round-the-barn circuit.) These days, Brad in town would be more likely to whine that Uncle Fred should visit him because of that little TV that Fred has. Full Article

The Venezuela of Chavez: Part III
Alvaro Morales Molina
Honduras This Week in Venezuela
Google.com
 Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez based his proposal for a new constitution on various basic cornerstones, one being the principal of territorialism. Chavez proposed to develop Venezuela to its full potential, building and rebuilding if necessary. Many Venezuelans do not understand the concept of an “exclusive economic zone.” Venezuela’s national petroleum company, PDV, for example, performs its oil exploration at 50 meters, and Brazil is now exploring at 7000 meters.

Roatan Bruce and family strike a holiday pose.

Did you know …
that as of September, 2007 Honduras consumed 182 million beers of 12 ounces each, more than 9 million liters of liquor and smoked 233 million packs of cigarettes of 20 cigarettes each? (This, in a country of 7 million.) In 2006 Hondurans drank 285 million beers, 14 million liters of liquor and smoked 342 million packs of cigarettes. Total consumption for 2007 is expected to surpass 2006 in all categories. According to the Honduran Institute for Alcoholism and Drug Addiction, Hondurans consume more alcohol than milk. The Institute also pointed out that the periods of the year when the most alcohol is consumed is during the Christmas/New Years and Easter Week periods. By Howard Rosenzweig

La Casa de las Abuelas, Valle de Angeles
Patrick Ahern
Honduras This Week
Day-tripping in nearby Valle de Angeles is an easy, fun diversion from city-weary Tegucigalpans, or anyone seeking a respite from traffic, noise and the hustle and bustle of the city. (Please see Tess Gool’s article in this edition of HTW for more on what “El Valle” has to offer.) When the hunger bug bites, a casual and rustic option is a meal at “La Casa de Las Abuelas,” a block from the village’s central square.Full Article
