We start track and field on Monday, September 3rd (yes, we have to work on Labor day...that is a US Holiday, not a Honduran Holiday!) I am the head track coach (because I have so much experience and everyone else is pretty recently out of college) and Mike is coaching hurdles...yes, he ran 300 M Hurdles and 110 Hurdles in high school. The track season only lasts for a month and a half, unlike the track season in the states that lasts 3 months! They also only have two meets a year and not one or two every week! We only have to practice 3 days a week and not 5 like in the states either...I won't have to take anyone home because they have an activity bus that takes them home at 4:30 in the afternoon!! Why can't they do that in the states?? Things are just so much more laid back here than in states, I am so much less stressed and it is wonderful!!! Above is a picture of the gym and soccer field area where we will be practicing...there is no track.

Government strikes...Mike shopping for fabric and yarn...picking on Caroline all day...bus/limo service for the kids...Spiderman food packaging...mutant gnats...and parasites in the water! Thanks for sharing a little piece of paradise with us! Keep up the good work! Your Brother in Christ, T. Lockhart P.S. Caroline, I might send Mike to the Honduran Radio Shack but not the fabric store/market.
