Things I've learned in Honduras:
- Sometimes, the water pipe bursts and no one knows where the cutoff valve is, so the kitchen floods. Then, there are no stores open to sell the parts to fix the pipe, so you just don't have water for the night, and you take showers by pouring cups of water on yourself from the jug of clean water.
- Sometimes, when working on building furniture, the power will decide to go out, and you just can't use your power tools for a few hours. No biggie.
- Sometimes, life gives you lemons, and all you can do is make lemonade. Sometimes, though, life gives you sweat, and there is nothing delicious you can make from sweat.
- Sometimes, there's a horse at the door.
- You can salsa dance to "Stand By Me". Who knew?
- Even in Honduras, without speaking a lick of Spanish, my grandmother can still manage to make friends with the lady at the store, and convince her to turn the music off because it was too loud.
