Noise!
It's always noisy at our house. There's the music from the bike shop which varies from soft to deafening, there's music from the pizza restaurant immediately across the road, but last Wednesday morning we heard an even louder noise of music, horn blasting and cheering! The taxis from Tela were part of a parade, waving Honduran flags etc, driving past our house for about half an hour. There must have been at least 300 taxis in the line. Nothing here seems to be very well organized but this support for the Honduran soccer team was obviously very important. In case you didn't know, Honduras beat Costa Rica in the elimination game for the World Cup by 4.0. This is a first for Honduras, an incredible achievement. The next game is on September 5th and everyone's talking about it. Hope you can view my video on Youtube. I only manged to video the last few taxis but it does give you an idea of the noise. Please put your speakers on full to get the full impact! Go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2hoN8RZDwI ( You may need to cut and paste this address to gain access.)
