Made in Cleveland

Driving home from the office yesterday in the rain. We pulled over to let a group of guys (workers) hitch a ride in the back of the pickup. Standard Honduran road etiquette. One of the guys was wearing a Cleveland Indians hat. The old kind. Blue with a big Chief Wahoo. The hat was pretty worn, but that toothy grin was still bright. All those pearly whites. A little reminder of home.

A lot of people down here wear clothes donated from the States. You end up seeing some funny things. When I was working in Copantle with Don Juan on his house, he kept wearing the same lime green t-shirt. "Mount Sinai High School Senior Trip: We're Going to the Best Place on Earth." On the back it said "Disney World."

  1. If you see someone wearing a family reunion T-shirt, be sure to get a photo!

  2. Surprisingly, I don't think I've seen any family reunion shirts. Lots of church mission trip cast-offs. Also high school stuff (Seniors '05, Clearfield Marching Band). But I'll keep looking. Still no camera charger...
