On Friday September 16 the Global Year team, plus Deborah, woke up at 4 AM, rolled into Deborah's car, and headed to Seba, Honduras which is 4 hours away. We went white water rafting and swimming, along with cliff jumping, it was amazing. We almost wrecked twice on the way there, once because we could not see a road block for construction (it was dark, there aren't street lamps, and the sign was not reflective) and again when a truck was passing a car by going around into our lane through a bend in the road, driving here is always fun. Meg was curious how i slept while Deborah drove and I couldn't tell her why other than she knows what she's doing and I couldn't stop anything from happening just by being awake. The sun rise was beautiful, this country is gorgeous. Darwin and Joel were our river guides from Omega Tours. Darwin spoke English and Joel knew a few phrases so Deborah was with Mike and Ike in Joel's boat to translate, but she couldn't hear him so I was the one telling her what he said, it was ironic. We were paired with a couple from the US Embassy in Honduras. Mike and Ike and Joel fell out of the raft at the second rapid because the raft got stuck but everyone was okay. Afterwards we ate a nice spaghetti lunch, my peeps here caught on quick that I eat allot so they give me leftovers ( i like that style of living ) and they ask why I'm not fat, who knows man, I just like food. On the way home the car kept overheating so we'd stop and cool it down with water. At one point we saw a man pushing a bike with the front tire so flat it was molded to the rim, his calves were rippling with muscle from across the street and the bike had 3 giant bags, he reminded me of Saami. We took Him food and socks but He politely declined, we don't know if He was homeless or not but we keep praying for Him. It was an amazing trip, but we couldnt take the cameras on the raft so no pictures but man was it pretty.
