Rain rain go away.
Things have been a little crazy in Tegucigalpa lately. The rain will not quit. A week ago, it washed out a 12 meter section of the north road into the city. Now there is this big crater and the road is closed. We have to take a circuitous route to get into the city. Over a muddy half-road and onto an unfinished highway.
In the afternoons, when it pours, people stand in their doorways in the barrios with plastic brooms and try and sweep the water into the street.
Also, the teachers are on strike. Again. This time they are in the streets with the unions. An increase in minimum wage, etc. Yesterday we could hear their bucket drums and air guns from the office. Exciting, but also a little old. Students have missed a big chunk of the school year because of striking teachers. I read an editorial in the paper advocating a do-over. Cancel this school year and make everyone repeat it starting next year. 2010 redux.
