Our Long Weekend

This weekend we enjoyed a four day weekend here in Tegucigalpa. On Wednesday we survived a half-day of school. The reason we survived it was that it was "Crazy Hair Day" so the kids hair affected how they behaved during the day. When we returned home we went out for lunch and walked from lunch to the mall. As we were walking we went pasted a small group of protesters who were marching towards the president's house. We stopped a distance away from the protesters and watched President Mel's helicopter land and the police keep the protesters away from the main gate of casa presidential. We didn't linger long and continued on our journy to the mall.

The next day (Thurdsay) we rented a car at the airport to drive to some places we have always wanted to visit. We drove a few kms. out of the city to Zamorano, an agricultural university. We looked at the fields, and bought some shirts from the market there. It was fun to get out of the city and see a new place that we have never been to.

The rains have finally come

After many days of extreme heat here in Teguc. the rains have finally begun to start. The rain is a welcome relief because it helps to cool off our house, the mountains are turning green once again, and it also removes much of the smog in the air. We need to make sure to have our umbrellas with us every day now so that we don't get caught in a downpour on our way home from school.
