Heating Up

I didn't get to go back to the orphanage today. Karina had a class at 7 am this morning. They closed up the university -with her in it! She's home now, but she could hear the protestors outside. She said the streets were "ugly"when she came home. That's all I know. Everyone is saying that tomorrow and Saturday are going to be worse. I'll update this as I learn more.

We are all set to go to Olancho next weekend. Jose is even taking Monday off, so we can stay for an extra day! Karla was telling me about her grandmother's house in the country. It has four living rooms! I am really looking forward to getting out of the city for a while.

Karla just got back from taking her work in to the bank. She said the streets she used were empty. We are listening to the news on the radio right now. The borders are closed again, in part because people are bringing in arms from Venezuela. The police have searched the houses of leaders of the protests and found houses full of weapons. People are worried that the "manifestaciones" tomorrow could be very violent. I also saw on tv that the radio will turn off 250 channels tomorrow. This is in an effort to keep things from further escalating.

Karla just said that one of the manifestaciones is in Tony's neighborhood.
