Herman, El Carpintero

Herman, the host family husband, is basically the best carpenter in town. I learned this from my teacher at the language school. Herman's shop is located inside the house.

After breakfast the other day, he showed me some of his handiwork - a few brand new pieces he made to order.

Needless to say, I was impressed. When it comes to Herman's reputation here in Copan, the size of his talent and the size of the town are such that when I jump into a taxi, I tell the driver my destination is "Casa de Herman Villeda, el carpintero."
