So maybe I haven’t beaten the jetlag - was up at 4am today and at 5am was sorting all my photos!! Hopefully I will get back to normal soon. So I pottered around the house this morning and then when the electricity went out I went into town. I started the car, put down the electric windows and then noticed a funny smell that was getting stronger....there was huge amounts of smoke coming from the electric window buttons on my door – right next to me!! So I quickly stopped the engine and opened the door and let it all cool down. I had to get to the mechanic so I got my fire extinguisher from the boot of my car and started driving with the extinguisher next to me!! At the bottom of the hill the car started smoking again and the car was smelling foul! I let it cool and in the meantime called Enoc to ask what I should do! I let it cool and then made it to school – where I was heading! I met up with Silvia and the other Elementary teachers, and it was lovely to see them again.
I finally headed to the mechanic who sorted out the wires for me – even changed the fuse so the dashboard lights would work again!! I went off to the shops...and the window wouldn’t open and the smell was back....so back to Tito the mechanic! All sorted now I hope!
I got back here to the Vissers house around 3pm and somebody has broken in AGAIN. This is the 4th time now. What is horrible is that it didn’t happen when Kike was staying here – only when it’s me here! Kike, Becky and Ana (my neighbours) are in Guatemala for a few days, but Josue is staying next door so I’m waiting for him to turn up! The weirdest part is all the door were locked – how did they get in? I locked the main front door (which I don’t use) and triple checked it – yet when I got back not all of the locks were done up (there are 3). Also, Amanda’s pencil case has been emptied all over the floor. All v random. It logistically doesn’t make sense! I am going to see if I can convince someone to stay here for a few days with me as I don’t fancy staying by myself right now!!
At least I know I have arrived back in Honduras!!!

Think it would be a good idea if you can get someone to stay with you.Don't cars keep you poor? Alan's had to go in for 'coils' yesterday so I had to run him to & from work! Are you remembering which side of the road to drive on, or are you just driving down the middle of the road?!! Take care, love Barbara x
just a thought but could there be a duplicate key somewhere. can you get the locks changed to be on the safe side.meanwhile good idea to get some company. look after yourself!! God Bless, love Jean.x
Never a dull day !! Guess the dogs didn't frighten them away unless they knew them....
