This morning I heard Ronnie (our dog) going absolutely crazy down on the front porch. Turns out someone had put an iguana on the porch and it had really gotten to him. I went to Mauricio’s (general manager of Landau factory) for lunch today. It was great to get with him and Mazie in their new house—beautiful. Yesterday Nicolas asked if we had enough money to buy a load of gravel and some bags of cement for the dorm. I asked how much he needed and he said 6500 lempiras. I counted out what we ha in the construction envelope….6500 lempiras. The OSU engineering students and faculty will be arriving here January 4. They will be starting a new project, probably construction. The water filter project will continue on also, but it is now being funded by the US Environmental Protection Agency. They are considering Alfredo’s brother Santos to be the one in charge of making and selling filters. I met with him yesterday and he is very much interested.
