Ok, so I am new to this whole world of technology and perhaps I am just a bit inconsistent with this blog thing. Hopefully I will become more accustomed and keep you all up to date with life here.
Last week our school had a visit from a VIP. While digging into my normal morning routine of cleaning and laundry I started hearing cheering from the school. The power had gone out, but I had already washed 3 loads of laundry (continual thing here) and thought I would hang them up and get my trash ready before I picked up Jubilee from PreK. I figured that soccer game I had heard discussed recently got moved to our campus and the kids were really enjoying it. What I didn't know (and boy if I had I'd have been there!) was that President Micheletti had decided to visit our campus. The third grade had been to the Presidential Palace the day before and missed getting their picture with him, so he actually made it a point to see these kids-and while he was at it, why not the school?
Honduras actually has 3 Presidents (in a way) currently. There is President Micheletti who is legally running that office, then there's incumbent President Pepe Lobo, who will step into office on January 27th, then there's former President Manuel Zelaya who is still in residence at the Brazilian Embassy, but seems to have quit insisting on a return to power. Not often that happens. Here's a picture of the Senior class with the President and Harold, who is crowd control for the event-he didn't get the memo about wearing a suit jacket and never actually got an official photo as he was too busy policing kids. Sure was fun though.
