Back to San Pedro Sula.

After a 5 hour van ride from Valle de Angeles, we arrived in San Pedro Sula where we met up with the team members that went to Copain. ( It was supposed to be 4 hours but there was a lot of construction. Very scary at times. ) Upon our arrival, we went for lunch together and shared our stories of the last 2 days. Each one of us had a great time !!!!!!!!!!!!

Carol, Jeannette, Lee, Dustin and I went to the market to do some last minute shopping while Jean, Art and Eileen went to the police and fire stations. Once again they gave out badges and if they understood correctly, the police will drop some off to the hotel tomorrow before we leave.
This fire department officials were being interviewed on TV so they couldn´t stay long but they stayed long enough to exchange badges and show them around. They also introduced them to their fire dog. Jean said the dog looked healthy and happy.... a very unusual sight in Honduras. Most of the dogs are very malnurished and sickly looking. Julie and Linda came back to the hotel for some rest and relaxation.

We are preparing to go to the Rotary meeting tonight. It sounds like the hotel we are going to is quite exquisite. I´ll keep you posted.

Tonight is our last night in Honduras. Some of us fly out as early as 6:55 am and some get in to Detroit at 11:15pm. Whatever our schedule, I´m sure we will all be glad to get back to our families and our routine with great memories to last a life-time. It is amazing how one week can change your life forever. We are all going home with a new appreciation for ALL we have. We are most fortunate !!!!!!!!!!!!!
