Power outages are frequent here, and when I stopped at the corner mini market on my walk home from school, the clerk was cloaked in darkness and holding a flashlight. She's kinda cute too, and she seems to be a person of faith, but I digress.
The phrase people use here to declare or lament a power outage is "No hay luz!"
(sounds like "no eye LOOSE")

Shopping with no lights today was less than wonderful, but I guess it beat the time I was caught in the barber's chair mid haircut when the power went out one evening.
My prize for braving the dark aisles of the market:
I moved to town in July but somehow am just now purchasing my first box of good ol' breakfast cereal.
Not sure I ever heard of lactose free skim milk prior to Honduras, but my digestive system is pretty happy about it.
Copan actually has a product called Ranchitas that is like Doritos but better, but I've only found it in a small snack size bag so far.

Fortunately, electricity was restored about an hour after I made it home from the market.
