We had no idea. We began the day in Orlando, running through the
routines of checking bags, going through security, and sitting and
waiting. Our first flight arrived in Miami in a quick 43 minutes, just
as i was about to take a nap (Catching up from my six hours of sleep
last night :/) as the flight attendant announced our descent. After
much deliberation, chinese was on the menu at MIA After eating and
playing some cards in the airport, we boarded the plane for San Pedro
Sula, finding it funny that everything said over the intercom came in
two different languages. We almost made it the whole way without
incident, but at the very end, an undisclosed team member (John Allen)
decided to revisit the chinese he had enjoyed just hours before. A few
napkins later, and we were riding in the Jesus van
(http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=4037190&id=518311874) on our
way to La Paz. We made our only stop at a full service gas station,
where two bags of water were excitingly purchased for the bargain of 4
limpiras!! (that's like 20 cents)(and yes, bags. it was awesome.)
Soon (three hours later) we arrived to sounds of firecrackers and
wooping children. We unloaded and listened to an inspired 'God Bless
America' as best as any Honduran children could sing it :) We were
then immediately bombarded with hugs and shown by them to our rooms.
We ran around and learned some Spanish, and enjoyed a wonderful meal
of chicken empanadas. Now we're sitting on the roof, listening to the
sound of roosters and frogs, and looking at the incredible sky God put
there for us. We had no idea, but now we do, and we (at least i)
couldn't love it more :)
