Rain Rain Go Away!

Today goes down in the history books.  It started out like any other Friday.  Got to school, helped out in kinder/prepa and then went with a teacher to an ear doctor in San Pedro Sula.  All the time it was raining.  On the way back from San Pedro Sula, I got dropped off at Casa Quemada to attend Carlitos' 3rd birthday party (he is the son on Miguel, one of the most dedicated and loving fathers at SJBS).  I met Miguel, Maria and the other Miss Andrea and we began the walk to Miguels.  The road is pure mud and it appears to have a little river running through it.  No worries, we made it to the little hill we needed to climb to get to Miguels.  We started to climb and before I knew it I was flat on my (excuse my language) ass.  When I stood up my pants were covered from the butt to the knee in mud.  I laughed it off and kept climbing.  When I reached Miguel's house I tried unsuccessfully to wipe away the mud to no avail.  The only solution was for me to borrow a pair of the neighbors jeans (think skinny jeans that barely buttoned).  At least I got them fastened and proceeded to spend a wonderful afternoon playing with Carlitos, talking to Miguel and Sandra and sharing in the wonderful smile Maria had on her face all afternoon.  And I still had room for two pieces of birthday cake.  I think I'm the only person to go to a home visit in one pair of pants and return in another :)  On the way back down to catch the bus everyone was curious if I would fall again.  I did not but when I got on the bus it took off before I was completely seated and I luckily fell into the only empty seat.  Now I'm back in my apartment and staying put until tomorrow morning when I go to get our newest set of volunteers at 10 a.m.

Stay dry!
