New President!

What a weekend! Not quite the peace and quiet I was expecting. We had a military coup - but it wasn't a military coup at all! Confusing stuff! The President Mel Zelaya was arrested by the Military in the early hours of Sunday morning and exiled to Costa Rica as he had been breaking the law and constitution. We were at our early morning Prayer Meeting on Sunday morning when we heard that it had happened. Everyone was told to stay at home and church was cancelled. There were trucks of soldiers driving around our town- apparently - I didn't see them! But here in Sigua it was all calm and so football was on as normal and we went off to watch it etc - noone had stayed in their houses!
Tegus was a different matter and I was glad not to be there! During the day they inaugarated a new President! All happened a bit fast, but heh! We had a curfew of 9pm last night. Everyone had to be in their houses by 9pm and the military were on the roads to check. No-one was messing with this and so by 9pm we were at home! CNN and BBC all seemed to have a very one sided few of what had happened - and it didn't seem to be correct. None of my Honduran friends agreed with any of it - making out Mel (Old President) was a good man, feeling sorry for him. Not in any way correct! I guess he got the good publicity he wanted!
All seems calm this morning and fairly normal! What will happen in the next few days I have no idea but the worst seems to be over. My first military coup - that wasn't!
