Belated Valentine’s Day

Those playing along at home know that our photographer, Elizabeth Lavin, is down in Honduras photographing open-heart surgeries (and other stuff). In her last dispatch, we met 7-year-old Eduardo, who had a hole in his heart. Below, and image from his surgery. After the jump, a little something from Elizabeth.

Long days. I’m trying to go and see patients’ homes. I hired a cab yesterday to go about 20 minutes away. The cab broke down twice on the way back to the hotel. First time it was outside of the house of where the family was staying. Luckily the father of the girl I was photographing was a mechanic. The second time it was in the middle of this crazy Central American neighborhood. I looked out my window and a goat walked by.

I spent yesterday in the mountains. It was gorgeous. I’m trying to stay focused on the story, but there are so many cool things to shoot. I want to rent a car and wander around.

Anyway, what cigars do you like?
