This natural lake is in the center of Honduras. (I just got the name correctly spelled by looking at a "Cinco Lempiras" bill for 5 lempiras.) This lake is world famous for its black bass fishing. Which enabled me to meet one of my culinary goals of this trip. I wanted to eat a "bass" in "Honduras."

Beautiful at sunrise.

Here I am before the clever combination of my culinary and poetic goal.

The bass is cleaned, sort of, and then dropped whole into boiling oil. The chips on the bottom of the dish are slices of bananas which are smashed, fried and then served.
