The Time Has Finally Come!



That's right.  We are scheduled for the vaccine on Monday at 8 a.m.  We went by the gymnasium in Santiago today to check it out.  They were setting up tents, chairs, signs, marking parking areas in the soccer field across the street for people to park.  I'll give an update on Monday.

The fires are still burning and there are days when it really eats up the acres.  As of today, the fire has consumed 16,000 acres.  More cabins have been lost as the fire advances down the mountains.  These cabins are weekend home and are pretty pricey.   Here is a news report more for the video of the actual fire.  Truly amazing how much has burned.


Semana Santa has started and the airports are packed.  I am sure we will see a surge in the next few weeks of COVID.  Many anti-vaccers out there and I find that amazing.   There is a rush on the border and people don't seem to understand why so many Hondurans are going to the U.S. 

If they would watch the news or pick up a newspaper, had a clue about geography and nature, they would discover that Honduras is just a strip of land with hurricanes on one side and cyclones on the other.  The country has been devastated by climate change over the last 15 years.  Crops are destroyed every year, farm animals have died and people are left homeless.  Rural people, in a country high in crime, don't have a lot of options.

  1. Glad you're getting the poke! Do you know who h vaccine? It'll be late May by the time we get out of quarantine at home and can get it. Our travel home is convoluted to say the least.
