I visit the "least dangerous" city in Honduras: La Paz. I arrive to find out if it's true that there is almost no crime in this small town. And if it's true, how do they keep gangs from entering the city? I want to see if everything is true or not, and I end up falling in love with its people. I visit the parks, the bridges, shops, markets, bakeries, and more. I try a mysterious drink called "chilate" and a brown dessert called "la Torreja." A grandmother gives me the "wheat" semita and a "curd cake." I try guavas with chili and a lady gives me ginger tea for my cough. I learn about the Christmas pilgrim dolls tradition and the children challenge me in juggling a soccer ball and pushups.
