La Ceiba Again

Exactly three months ago today a heavy metal portonĀ (gate) fell on my left leg at La Masica. I had gone there from La Ceiba to visit my former contraparte who is director of an elementary school, and to visit other friends. There was no bone fracture but there was considerable damage to muscle tissue and ligaments. I wore an ace bandage for two months and I am now 95% back to normal. So I will be returning to La Ceiba next Saturday to finish my vacation and visit the two very poor young ladies whom I help with their school expenses. Yelsi is starting the 5th grade and Iris the 7th. One big difference will be my mode of transportation. This will be my first long excursion driving in Honduras, to La Ceiba from La Paz. A five-hour trip in my own 1989 Chevy step-side pickup truck. If I remember I will take a picture of the offending porton that felled my previous journey.
