Jetty slept well last night. I'll give her the second dose of Prednozone today. This morning when Jose called me at 6:45 a.m., I noticed the sun was shining so I opened all of the windows in the house. The dehumidifier seems to get us down to about 57% humidity, but that's still too high. I'm hoping the rain will hold off today so I can keep the house open and air things out.
In the US I was always taught not to call anyone before 9 a.m. or after 9-10 p.m. In Honduras at least once/month someone calls me before 7 a.m. I think it's because the sun comes up at 5:30 so most people wake up early. I was in the middle of a nice dream and would have loved to sleep past 6:45 this morning. Ended up Jose wanted to know if I had a copy of "March of the Penguins". I don't.
Tonight I am going to Jose and Karla's house for dinner and to spend the night. We always have fun, even if we don't really do anything. When I visited Honduras in 2009 I lived with Karla and Jose for 3 months. We have been close ever since. They are so busy with full time jobs, full time college and 2 kids (one with Down Syndrome) that I appreciate every second I get to spend with them.
Last night at Belinda's we had a full house. When the sofa and chairs were full we spread out pillows on the floor. We made nachos and ice cream sundaes with lots of different toppings. (I got Skittles as toppings because the boys I used to work with in the US loved them on sundaes. My Honduran friends seemed to agree with me. Skittles do not belong on sundaes.) We watched the game and ate until we were going to burst. Then we gave our leftovers to Belinda's son, Daniel, who kindly finished off what we couldn't eat. I had fun pointing out the fútbol players I met at the airport last month and showing off the pictures on my phone of me posing with them. The game was tied at 0-0 at the end of 90 minutes. The only thing I don't like about fútbol is that it can end in a 0-0 tie. For some reason that frustrates me. But they had 3 minutes of overtime. Right at the very end Honduras scored! It was exciting.
