Well we have switched gears here on Roatan. Pam and Britta left EARLY this morning and headed back to Tegucigalpa (Pam) and Minnesota (Britta). So Judy and Maria spent the morning packing and cleaning up and listening to some torrential rains outside (the local expression for a downpour is a "toad strangler"). In between downbursts we grabbed a taxi with our bags and transferred our lives to the lower apt. which is owned by Miss Peggy of the Clinica Esperanza. It will suit us fine for a couple of weeks but it is definitely pretty simple living and no A/C at all but the celing fans will help. The rain for most of the day makes us both feel pretty soggy especially because we got caught out on a walk and spent 45 minutes huddled with a few other kids under somebody's house out of the wind and rain (almost all the houses are raised up on stilts or concrete blocks because of the moisture and termites).
Peggy loaned us her computer to catch up and we got the full scoop on where to take the laundry and buy groceries and which friendly neighbors should not be given any cash no matter how helpful they are!! Not much else for today. Tomorrow we start at the literacy center and Peggy also requested us to do some one-on-one tutoring with her administrator who needs to learn English. I think we will be busy.
Love to all, Maria
