I will tell  you that this trip has been extremely testing and doesn´t seem to have let up much.  I have spent a day stranded between the borders, the next day stranded on the highway, endured our truck´s mechanical problems, been disappointed with the lack of progress at the orphanage, spent a day putting on a swivel that should´ve gone on in one half hour, been through a very harrowing earthquake, cancelled a drill team because of unknown conditions, heard that Father Vincente has left the country for a month (undoubtedly simply trying to outwait us), spent $900 on truck repair, made phone call after phone call about our truck in Puerto Cortes ( the port is closed, no elec. and the cranes have collapsed) etc., etc. The latest on the orphanage: I inspected the building and found many cracks, some of them rather large, took the girls to a beauty parlor today to have their hair washed, dryed, cut, styled, and nails done...they think they´re the berries.  Took the boys some ice cream and told them they were in charge of it and only those to whom they gave permission could have any of it, including staff and the girls when they returned.  Found out one of the staff took exception to being told she couldn´t have any and she hit Cesar three times with a belt!  I have secured a meeting with a judge on Tues. morning 8:00 a.m. here...10:00 a.m. eastern.  Told Vivian of the cracks in the walls and she´s going to try to push for withdrawal on that basis. I'm pushing the buttons I can see to push, but it is very frustrating and difficult to see the disappointment on the children´s faces as I leave each day.  It´s also getting very expensive, so please make your pleas for support!
