First, I have to mention that upon dismounting my scooter I began to think about how lucky I am to be riding it on flat, paved roads. My mind went back to the roads of Tegucigalpa where I witnessed tons of people attempt to navigate over and through the disassembled and distressed calles on two ruedas (wheels). Coincidentally, it was my initial scooter ride around the Honduran island of Roatan and my constant exposure to two-wheeled vehicles in Teguc that evoked my interest in purchasing my own in the States. Motoneta madness...
Second, I just finished reading the Facebook news feed for the "Transformemos Honduras" group (the project I am going to blog about next!) and noticed that there was a "maraton" (marathon) in Teguc this past week to raise awareness for sexual abuse prevention. I investigated further and found out that Abe--my fearless guia--was one of the winners of the race! Felicidades Abe! As proud as I am of my nuevo amigo, I am also confused. I recall a conversation we had the last night I was in Honduras that consisted of Dennis and Abe complaining (unnecessarily, in my opinion...) about their physical fitness. It was Abe himself that said he needed to get back in shape, yet it was also Sr. Huyser-Honig who placed in the top three spots in a running event. Hmm...expliqueme alguien!
