One of the lovely colonial towns of western Honduras, Erandique is in Lenca territory. The name means 'between the pleasant winds' in the traditional Lenca language.
At the moment I was contemplating going back, a blonde girl cycled by. I did not hesitate and asked her about the situation. Jokingly, I said that I could have been there already if only I had had a bike, since the distance is a mere 24 kilometres. Before I knew it, she offered me her bike, and claimed she did not need it. The other waiting men looked really surprised under their hats, when I cycled off, leaving them behind to wait for what seemd an indefinite wait. It took me longer than expected, the road being all gravel and either going uphill or down. But it was a beautiful ride, through the foresty landscape of the Sierra de las Neblinas. Parking the bike under the enormous ceiba tree on the first square was a relief, and I felt I deserved to see the town now. I talked to an old lady who told me about her life, having been born in this town, and she gladly had her picture taken. I cycled the old streets, saw the second church, met a painter-poet who took me to the third church on the third square on which he lived.
