I am sure Sandi will respond to this soon but in the meantime I will jump
in.
Honduras is not in South America. It is in Central America (South of
Guatamala ).

At Christmas one can become overloaded with food brought by one's

I live in La Ceiba, Honduras during the Canadian winter months.
And; 18 year old Flor De Caņa (Spanish for 'flower of the cane' , THE
perfect name for a rum) is the rum drinker's answer
to Napolean brandy.
