We landed in Tegucigulpa around noon and apparently the new president gets sworn in tomorrow. So the airport was busy busy busy. I think we may have seen the new president? But can't be too sure, whoever it was, he was someone very important. The people here are very excited about this and tons of people were at the airport, along with news teams, extra security, and a live band. As impressive as this was we were glad to find our bus and get out to Comayagua. (We are a group of 29 people and three bags each. So it was a little hectic.). Oh, and on a side note President Obama was down here yesterday for all the festivities, so that's cool!
Once we got out of the airport....wait I forgot something.
Our transportation is a very old looking massive bus! Last year we had a school bus.
Ok so now, once we got out to Comayagua we split into groups to make sure we got everything set up. James and I went to help set up the clinic while Cathy and Mandy stayed at the hotel to sort and organize all the Library supplies.
We flew through setting up the clinic. And we are all ready for tomorrow. We are working like crazy to make up for lost time, but dare I say we're going to be ready tomorrow?
Let's hope so!
Hi Everyone! I just read that Juan Orlando Hernandez will be sworn in as president today at 10:00 in Tegucigalpa. Prince Felipe of Spain will be there. Honduras has 71% of their people in poverty. It should be really busy today!! How exciting. You are in the middle of an inauguration!
