Arrived safe and sound in Honduras today. Both flights were uneventful, just how I like them. It was 76 in Tegucigalpa when we landed today. Not to rub it in, but it was also sunny. I am sitting on Karen & Dorian's back porch now watching the sun begin to set. It is so peaceful even hearing the 13 children talk while they take baths sounds peaceful to me. I did a really stupid thing....Karen has been wanting to have home made bread but flour and yeast, etc is expensive here and she wanted me to help her try to make some from scratch while I was here. Well, I decided to take her some frozen bread dough. Yep you heard me. I took frozen dough in a suitcase. It stayed in the suitcase for 7 hours and I was worried. At one point on the flight from Houston to Tegucigalpa they announced for Anita Vaughan to turn on service light to identify self. It was then that I knew that the dough had been put next to a heat source and has risen, and risen, and I had visions of Ghostbusters type bread dough ran amuck..........but they were simply bringing me my gluten free breakfast. whew....Well they gave me a bowl of corn flakes with gluten in them, a banana, and a bagel. Yep, regular old wheat bagel, full of gluten. Lucky for me I had a bag of Jordan Almonds with me that I had the foresight to purchase in Houston.
I had an awesome surprise when I arrived at Teguc. Jen, David, and Sam had brought the five brothers and their mom to meet me. Yep, Antonio was hugging my neck and calling me grandma nita. Those boys hold a special place in my heart and Antonio triple so. Also got to hug on Saul and Carlos..........And yes I got to hug on Karen and Dorian. When I am here it seems like it is just normal to be here. It is so far from Ohio in so many ways. Oh the bread dough was fine and is rising right now as some rolls, ham & cheese rolls, and cheese bread. See it wasn't stupid after all.......I am just hoping that she doesn't want something more exotic next time:). I will try to post some pics later unsure if the internet here will let me.. Until next time..........
