Today was my last day in Tegucigalpa. It was a sad day but the family made it very fun! First when we woke up we had a big delicious breakfast and orange juice. We hurried to get ready and we rushed out the door to have a fun filled last day in Tegucigalpa. First we got in the car and rode to Parque Nacional El Cusuco. When we got there a tour guide came to us to explain the park to us. First he said "This park is one of Honduras's best parks for vistiors" I was so excited to look up and see the beautiful mountain range. When we looked around we found a really pretty bird. It's called the Enigmatic Quetzal Bird It's the loveliest of all tropical birds it's on the brink of extinction, due to loss of habitat as well as over-hunting for the long beautiful tail feather. After we examined the bird we went hiking, went to the wildlife area, and bird sanctuary. Later we left and went home. The rest of the day we talked about traditions in Honduras. They have many religious holidays, like the feast day of the virgin of suyapa. Virgin of suyapa is Mary the mother of jesus. She is known to be a patron of Honduras, believed to perform have performed miracles in Suyapa a Tegucigalpa suburb. They also celebrate easter, christmas, labor day, independance day, and new years eve. After we talked about the tradtions and holidays it was time for me to go. I was so sad but happy to see my friends and family back home. I really hope I can come back to Honduras. I gave the family a hug and got on the plane.
