El viento sopló
El lluvia cayó
El agua fluyó
Y todo se inundó
Chorus to “Honduras” by d.c. Reto. It is a song about Hurricane Mitch in 1998.
Thankfully, this was not the case in Central America this time. At least from what I can tell it wasn’t. I was worried on Thursday afternoon when none of my catracho friends were at work, and things were looking bad for El Salvador and southern Honduras. But I talked with a friend in Tegus on Friday and he said things were ok, just lots of wind and rain. Of course, this guy lives in América, and I’m sure the homes there are a bit sturdier than in Germania where I live. But I figure worst case at my house – the bathroom ceiling might have fallen in (if it hadn’t already), and water probably came in the back door. Thanks to God that a repeat of 1998 was avoided!
So yesterday, I went to see Star Wars episode III. Karl bought several tickets to it, so the morning crew from work and the Scheels went. It was SOOOOOOOOOO good!!!!! I never even saw episode II because episode I was terribly pathetic. I’m definitely an old school Star Wars fan – especially with Harrison Ford in his glory days. Haha! But if you like Star Wars, episode III is a must see – it ties together a lot of loose ends, and explains a lot about the original 3 movies.
Tonight we had the chili feed & pie auction. This is one of the 2 days per year that I don’t eat most of the day, then eat a freaking TON at night (the other day is Oktoberfest). I had 2 bowls of chili, 4 pieces of pie, and an Italian soda. But my all time record is 2 chilis, and 6 pieces of pie! I hope to never do that again! Hehe!
