Sorry for not posting for, well, I can't quite remember how long it has been. Apparently life has been a little busy, or I have just been lazy and procrastinating. More likely, it's the latter.
I've said numerous times that I wish I would take more pictures here, especially while in the car. But, I don't think driving while taking pictures is the best idea I've had. So, you're just going to have use your imagination on these. Here are a few things I've seen around Honduras:
*2 Policemen riding in the back of a police pickup. Both sitting down (at least they were sitting). One in the bed of the truck. The other on a motorcycle with out a helmet and with the tailgate down. Not the brightest of men serving Honduras.
*A man riding a motorcycle. Not a huge man, but not necessarily skinny either. He's carrying a spare tire. You guessed it. He's wearing the tire around his middle like a floatation device used in a swimming pool.
*My friend's and I look of surprise when we noticed that the lame and beggar have traded "roles" on the street corner. I almost gave them money for effort.
*A man washing his shoes in a puddle, in the street, of a busy intersection. Traffic was backed up for a ways because of him.
*A family taking a lovely evening stroll. In the rain. In the dark. Down the middle of a very busy road.
*(This one happens all. the. time. In fact, I almost hit 3 of them in less than 2 minutes one day because of where they walk.) A man pushing his ice cream cart down the lane of traffic when there is a sidewalk 2 feet away. They could not care less that traffic is backed up because of them. They are going to sell that ice cream!
*A woman walking down the mountain carrying a tub of items on her head without using her hands. Oh yeah, she was wearing 3 inch high heels and a mini-skirt.
*A major intersection without functioning traffic lights. I have never seen a traffic jam so big in my life! No one was willing to move an inch so someone could get through. I had to go home and take a nap after that day of driving!
If you don't believe me, come on down and see for yourself! I would hire you for a day just to take pictures. :)
