Special Delivery


After being here for almost 7 months we sometimes feel like we are fully adjusted to the new culture we live in and nothing really can suprise us or seems strange or different anymore, especially when there are groups here or people visiting. We are sorta like Honduras tour guides to visitors and mission brigades at times explaining the why´s and how´s of this part of the world that we have grown to love. But there are times when we are suprised and get a laugh at our ignorance of some ¨normalcies.¨
We had seen this type of delivery before and got a huge laugh. We were very dissappointed to not get a picture thinking that our chance was gone forever. Not true. While riding in the back of the truck the other day we saw another one. The guy laughed as we took his picture. I am continually amazed at the inginuety in the lack of resources. There is no way I could make this happend with 1 rope. Not to mention the balance it takes to keep this thing stable at 60 MPH while turning or going slow in the usual traffic jams here. In case you can´t see the picture because of the glare, this is a clothes washing machine.

I thought maybe that was Will before I read the article. Maybe he'll have that mastered by the time you return to the U.S. Just think of how helpful that would be with the house-building business...

So glad that you did get a picture of that. Seeing it one time is funny...seeing it two times is amazing!

I think this guy one-upped William when he pulled the rebar through town tied to the bumper of Amber's truck! Ha! Ha!

Love you guys!

Looks like Travis Pastrana has come up with a new trick for Nitro Circus or X-Games!

I can't imagine that guy was going 60 with that thing on his cycle!
