Week #21 – Merry Christmas
T’was the week before Christmas and all through the land, not a Honduran was stirring, not even lifting a hand.
It was a very busy week for us trying to finish everything before we leave for New York. On Monday and Tuesday we were out at the taller teaching them how to balance their account and submit an expense sheet in order to get their next check. We also hired our new site manager on Tuesday and it turns out she has been friends with some of the Rotary members since childhood so she will fit in nicely. We left for the airport that night and left for the States on Wednesday morning. I hate flying to the States now with all their ridiculous rules, like not being able to bring water or toothpaste into the plane. Well, being the rebel I am, I thought how can I get around this? Simple, tuck the bottles in the back of my pants and walk through the metal detector. Thursday we went out shopping for our Christmas tree and found a nice little tree for only $10 (marked down from $40!). The next day I went to start my computer and got the dreaded blue screen of death. I have not been able to get our computer to work properly since, and I am absolutely lost without it! (I’m writing this at Carolyn’s house today.) Saturday I spent ripping the thing apart and rebuilding it. Still no luck. :-(
