Jeff’s brother, Bill drove Jeff and me to the Atlanta Airport. Atlanta to Miami to Tegucigulpa. In Teguc. At 12:30 PM.
Interpreter got our papers stamped without going thru the normal customs routine. While we were getting a car, Jorge Linares (our original contact) showed up. By the time we ate lunch, picked up the interpreter (who had to go home to pick up her clothes, why, I’ll never know), and stopped by Jorge’s office it was 3:30. Got to Roxana’s house at 5:30.

Half the school was waiting for us. They got into formation, held up signs and started singing! They had put together a little program for us! Even presented us with some clay pots they had painted. Several parents were also there. The welcoming party lasted about an hour.

Talked with Roxana about other poor schools that may want a similar lunch program.
