Don Godo
Hi Don Godo! How have you been?
You know, I was debating including a link to your blog again but it's so....inactive. Sorry! I'm hoping that once you get down here, it will be full of all sorts of wisdom.
I read some of the teacher's and PC workers blogs but I generally don't include temporary blogs in my links. It's just too much trouble to keep up with the ones who come and go and then a lot of them only post once a month or even less.
I'd rather highlight a few good ones than include a hundred links as some people do.
Boy, do I sound snobby!
And now, a word from our sponsor...
heheh,
kman
I totally gave up on my link lists because they were always so out-of-date!
May I suggest you these blogs about politics and corruption in Honduras:

Just wanted to post a note thanking you for including Yo-Yo (me) in your list.
Ok, so are you still tied up? cos' i am done with the links, and having withdrawals.
Deena
Knowing how much you love to crochet, I thought I would send you this link: http://laughingpurplegoldfish.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
She is from Australia and is the best crochet blog I have ever found!
La Gringa,
My husband is from Olancho and he just told me about the tropical depression that has hit Honduras. He is scared for his family down there and I was wondering how you were doing. I'm guessing that's why you haven't posted anything to the blogicito lately. I hope you're okay!!!
Louisa
RIP
Alita, thanks for the suggestions. I have read those in the past, though I'll admit it has been awhile. I am so horribly behind on my blog reading. I can't even keep up with my own lately, but I will try to catch up on those soon.
TicaMacha, you totally deserve a link! I always enjoy reading your blog. I don't know if I could be quite as toad-friendly as you are. ;-)
IslaGringo, I made a note of that link, too, and I'll check it out as soon as I can. I love creative people. Thanks.
Deena and Louisa, sorry for the delays in posting and thanks for prodding me. I have been so incredibly busy lately!
Louisa, be sure to check the online LaPrensa every day for updates on the weather situation. I wouldn't have any first-hand knowledge of Olancho, but I think that the western and northern parts of the country have been hit worse. I'm not entirely sure though.
We are fine and don't worry about us. Our house is in a location that just can't flood, unless the creek rises about 40 feet! The only thing we have to worry about is leaking windows, which do cause some problems but nothing as serious as others are experiencing.
Don Godo, thanks for the plug.I enjoyed meeting you and your lovely wife.
just one more Honduras blog:
http://danaandanah.blogspot.com
Thanks for all the new links!
Your link to the ECHO site doesn't seem to work...is there an updated link for that one?
Rebecca, thanks so much for letting me know the ECHO link did not work. I spent several hours reading that site this weekend and I thought for sure that the link did work! It took me several tries. It seems that the home page link cannot be linked to directly. I had to use a different link which then redirects you to the home page. Strange.
I never would have known if you hadn't told me and this is a great site with tons of info for organizations, farmers, and home gardeners. I'd hate for anyone who is interested in tropical gardening to miss it.
How funny is this. I had to wait 5 months AND come north a thousand of miles or so to find out that there was a tropical depression and that was the reason for all of the rain in October. (there was so much rain that we were sort of stuck at home - I refused to drive down the mountain unless absolutely necessary because I got stuck once, and I was not about to get stuck in the mud again. *think dirt road/ruts + 30+ days of heavy rain*)
And since I wasnt able to get down the mountain, I never did find out what was going on (no tv signal, cell signal, radio signal etc. etc.) until today.

Jen, I'm thinking you meant to post this on another article, but it is interesting anyway. ;-D
I hope that you can get your internet access worked out when you get back. It really is a life-saver and a mind-saver.
Actually it was this one I wanted to comment on. There is a comment above from Louisa who is asking about Olancho, and the depression and what not.
You said that unless the river rose 40 feet we wouldn't have to worry about you and flooding. (did I tell you that our house flooded - something that according to both my husband, (who was there through the rainy season), and my FIL (who was at our house for 5 years or so before we moved down) said it never did, and the entire time I was laughing thinking of the advice you give on HL? I wrote about it on one of my blogs with video sometime in January. It still makes me laugh.
Oh, and I so hope that I can get my internet at home via my Tigo Fijo - seeing as how that is the only way I can do it - only thing is, I need a signal, and that varies by the minute. *fingers crossed* LOL.

Jen, now you know why we give that ominous warning to all who want to buy a house in Honduras! Your situation might have been a one-time freak of nature (or once ever 10 years), but there are many places where you can count on the fact that your area will be flooded every single year. We almost bought one of those houses!
DRAT! That darn ECHO link is not working again. I don't understand a site that cannot be linked to. I guess people will just have to google it.
Hi!, good to read you!, We want to exchange links whith you, tell us about it, thanks!

It is based on our experiences of living and volunteering here in Honduras and traveling around Central America as well. Thanks!
