Another Adventure

Friday my daughter, Nicole, and her husband Matt will be flying into San Pedro Sula and we will be getting them at the airport. Casa de Eseranza is preparing to open a small gift shop. While we were in Copan last October I saw some things that I thought should go in the gift shop. A few weeks ago, Marc and I decided to drive to Copan today, buy the gift shop items tomorrow, and go back to San Pedro Sula on Friday to get the kids.

Marc found another shortcut to Copan. It is a wonder that I even got in the car with him. We got on the San Pedro Sula highway. At km177 we turned off of the highway to take the shortcut. We had a lovely time driving the country roads. This country is full of beauty and this road was no exception. An hour and a half later as we turned back onto a highway, not the highway we thought it was, we quickly discovered we were on the San Pedro Sula highway and km190. Boy, we had covered a lot of mileage. Only we were headed back toward Tegucigalpa. We were laughing hysterically. After making a uturn, we had an uneventful trip the rest of the distance to Copan. We visited and enjoyed the beauty.

I am looking forward to being here, doing my business and seeing the kids on Friday.

Dear Terri and Marc,
One adventure upon another.
Let me try typing this in a way that you guys will understand. Are you crazy? Buy a map for goodness sakes. Thank God nobody insane came along and tried to hurt you. Don't you worry about robbers on the highway? The reality is that you are in hills and hollows that you aren't familiar with. Duh!

Well my prayer is blessings always no matter where you guys go driving down the road.

Terri, that's funny! Sounds like us...

After living here for close to 4 years now, just last weekend Steve decided to take a "short-cut" on the way home from our weekly shopping. Of course, it didn't end up being a short cut after all, but we did enjoy seeing a new neighborhood...albeit one that wasn't very safe...

Oh, the adventures we experience here in Honduras! :)

God bless,

Jeanne

We do use road maps. We just missed one little left turn. Unfortunately, most roads and turns are not marked. We know that by now. It was funny because we were only 13km from where we started. I guess if we had not known where we were or had been in danger, we might not have thought it so funny.
