It’s a beautiful country. I hope they can get their act together.
Do you know Honduras? I have a friend who lived in Trujillo but haven’t stayed in touch with her.
Hi Lurker, I hope you are well. Yes Honduras is a beautiful country. I spent 18 days there in 2007 doing what some would call mission/humanitarian work. I stayed in Tegucigalpa in a walled compound at night. We could hear gunfire every night. But the next morning was always without evidence of any disturbance. This was during Zelaya’s term of office. I actually conversed with him and his “Attorney General” in the evenings.
During the day, I would be among the people in the country. There was quite a difference in thinking. I found good, faithful, industrious, hard working, prideful, and generous people. They appreciated any help that could be brought. At the time I was there, the life expectancy was 41 years.
One sight I will never forget though was the teenaged armed guard (shotgun) on the outside of a “caged” hardware store. Hurricane Mitch did them no favors by “parking” over the country for 75 inches of rain. It destroyed the infrastructure of the COUNTRY.
But despite the travesty, the people remained strong.
