Day Trip to Teguc

August 1

     Hello August! It’s a new month and today was a really long day in Tegucigalpa. We took Alejandro and Ivannia to the court in the morning. We left Talanga at around 7:45 and made it to court at around 9. The judge wasn’t there when we got there, so we had to wait. That included changing two diapers and feeding Ivannia, which took a good whole hour. She doesn’t like being fed, so feeding her is usually a wrestling match, but we had plenty of time to spare. We waited for the judge for a little over two hours, but she never showed up. So we decided to go for lunch. We went to Deny’s and Antonio, the assistant director of the national police, joined us. He’s practically family to the ministry. We were nearly through with our meal when Alejandro decided to throw up on Evelin and I…definitely wasn’t expecting that! So we got him cleaned up…and cleaned ourselves up too and left.

     Next stop was IHNFA to drop off Karla’s stuff. We were going to take Alejandro to see her, but we were told that we couldn’t until the judge had made a final decision on whether or not he stays with her or the ministry. I was hoping to see her, but then again I guess it was good that we didn’t because it probably would have caused a big commotion.

     After IHNFA, we made a trip to Price Smart to grab a few groceries. Just as we were about to leave, we ran into Helga in the parking lot. Talk about the most random thing ever! But it was a nice surprise. I actually thought it was pretty funny…so that was the last of our errands in Teguc. I rode at the back of Gracie’s truck as we drove out of the city, just until we made it to the Texaco. We stopped in Talanga to pick up a package and Gracie had something to give Rosa, then it was finally home sweet home.

It was a looooong day, but since it was also Wednesday, the girls and I got to unwind and watch our tv shows in the classroom. We usually end up staying up pretty late, but it’s always a good way to end the day.
