We made it back from San Pedro Sula yesterday at around 5 PM. We had a great trip, but our way home was a little harried. We left at a good time and as we drove out of San Pedro Sula I was stopped by the police. This is normal as they do random stops. As a very white woman driving a huge truck (our F-250 is twice as big as most Honduran trucks) with Washington State plates I attract a lot of attention. We didn't have any problem with the truck papers (that was a blessing), but I was not carrying Audrey's Passport of Birth Certificate with me. While we are here on a residency visa and so are the kids, they do not have cards until they are teenagers. They stopped us for almost 45 minutes trying to figure out what to do with us. They were going to make us wait while they called Migration or (worst case scenerio) one of our trucks would have had to stay with Audrey in San Pedro Sula while the other truck with one of us would have had to drive to Tegucigalpa, get her birth Certificate out of the safe, and drive back to San Pedro Sula to show them. Thankfully they just let us go.
I was stopped twice on the way home, but everything worked out fine and we were able to make it home with only a slight delay.
We spent the rest of the night trying to get Snuggles back from a family in the church. There was an accident on the roads and we had to go all the way around. On top of that Sunggles got hurt while he was at Teresa's house. We had to take him to the doctor. His leg was all swollen up and so the doctor gave him some Anti-inflamatories and an anti-biotic. He is doing better today. He is running around and having a great time. The saying "It's only a dog" does not apply when is is the first dog we have ever paid for.
