Looking up

Things are looking up... I think. This may be repetative information for a few of you but, deal with it. Today I am off to an E-Zone coordinator training in Siguatepeque. Basically, it means that I will be responsible for passing information on to a few people in case of an emergency, say, a hurricane or strike. That gets me out of Talanga for a few days. Next week will be a little crazy as well. Thursday, with the help of Mateo, my Honduran counterpart coach and two moms, I will take my baseball team (pictured) to the national tournament in Tegucigalpa. We will stay at the Villa Olimpica until Sunday. Ally and Jeni are kind enough to grace me with a visit soon after and from then on, it is work work work. Or something like that.
It sounds like my toothbrush donation should arrive by the first of June (if not sooner) so I will finally be able to start that project.
I am also excited because a few minutes ago I heard thunder. That means the rains are coming and it won't be as miserably hot all day and night. Apparently the rain has started in some areas of the country but my site hasn't seen it yet.
What else is new... oh, apparently my dueƱa is having eye surgery (or something) so she is gone for the next few days. Her son, who is probably mid 30s and lives with her (fairly normal in this society) decided to point out the fact that we were both alone last night and invited me to watch TV (since he knows I don't have one). Although the decision to decline was easy, getting him to go away was a little more challenging. Oh dear latin men, always trying to make a move. (Yes, that is a generalization, decent men do exsist. Sometimes, they are just difficult to find.) I am just glad to be gone until after his mother's return.
I can't think of anything else new or interesting, although I am sure there is more, so until next time...
