Yet Another 24 Hours of Uncertainty

I will be staying at home yet again tomorrow as the curfew has been extended until 6:00 pm Wednesday evening. The Secretary of the Exterior for the current Honduran government gave a press conference this evening explaining the de facto's position regarding the current political crisis and presence of Mel Zelaya at the Brazilian embassy. Let's hope they can lift the curfews soon. We depend on vendors to come into our area nearly daily to deliver fresh fruits and veggies, milk and basic grains. There has been no violence in our area, but people work with very little cash so there is a great need to work every day. Many go to the little corner stores on a daily basis to purchase the food they will need for the day. I had to laugh today, despite the curfew, the moto-taxi's were making a killing running errands for everyone. People were afraid to use their cars and trucks, but apparently when you live in the rural areas...walking, bicycles and moto-taxis are fair game as long as there are no military or police in sight. Fortunately for us, there was peace in our little corner of Honduras. Tonight I had quite a number of neighbor kids playing in my yard. It was comforting to see all of the parents sit around and watch their kids play while chatting about today's events. If I had been able to take a picture, you would never guess this country was in such turmoil. Let's hope things get better as soon as possible and that personal agendas and aspirations are put aside for the good of all. Thanks again for all of your prayers and words of support. They are very much appreciated.
