Tranquilo, for now (or "Todo Tranqui" as Karla would say)

Yesterday we didn't do much. My phone and my computer were both on the fritz so I spent the day trying to fix them. Got my phone fixed, think my computer is just getting old.

We didn't watch any news yesterday. Karina went to school and Jose went to work. Everything seemed normal in my little world. We ate dinner and while Jose was putting the girls to be Karla, Karina and I had a dance party downstairs until we couldn't dance anymore. Luckily we've had tons of water for the past 24 hours!!!! so we washed up and got into our pj's, then hung out in the bedroom Karina and I share while Jose was downstairs preparing for his youth group today.

They tell me I am quite a good dancer, which I find hard to believe since I am not even a good dancer when it comes to gringo dancing. But we certainly had a good time. We danced to all kinds of music - I just followed along. Of course it was when I was practicing just shaking only my butt, while keeping the rest of my body still, that Jose came downstairs and I didn't notice him there at first. That was embarrassing. They told me that people from different parts of Honduras dance differently, but the men from the North dance the best. Guess I should keep my eye out for a man from Northern Honduras ;-)

This morning, after avoiding the news all day I got a scary article from my mom about crazy Mel. HE BETTER NOT RUIN MY TRIP TO OLANCHO NEXT WEEKEND!!!! I hope he comes soon, so they can arrest him and things can calm down. Our latest plan is to leave Friday and return Monday. I really hope we can go!

I was supposed to go up to La Tigra this morning, but they are tuning up the car for the trip to Olancho, so I am trying to be patient.

I got my article done for Tony's newsletter. It didn't end up saying what I expected to write, but I guess I said what I am supposed to.

Wonder if I'll be able to work at the orphanage next week?
