March 19—yes it is Father’s Day in Honduras. I wouldn’t really mention it but because of what happened this morning I must tell you all.
I have written about these vehicles, cars or trucks, loud speakers on them. They often pass by and are in El Progreso and have recordings that advertise and make announcements. This morning at 3 am one came by and kept passing by. Loudly it proclaimed “Feliz΄al dia de Padres to all the padres in El Castano”! Over and over and over—it must have passed by a dozen times. And to add to the celebration there were gun shots—again over and over. I told David I would be shooting whoever had woke me up at 3 am. Only this morning did I learn that the message was just part of the holiday celebration.
In the evening there were tons of fireworks. Hondurans love their illegal fireworks!!!!
