On Christmas morning, Juan Cabrerra, the mayordomo (director) of the Holy Cross campus in Reitoca, F.M., Honduras, harvested the first bananas from the banana orchard. Raising bananas is new to Juan and myself, so we weren’t sure exactly when to cut down the first bunch. We were pretty much on track, but the next bunch, we’ll cut them a bit earlier.
The families of Juan and Isaí Pérez (Fr. Bob’s driver) report that the bananas were very sweet and enjoyed by everyone.
