How hard could it be to find some fireworks in Honduras? At times I believe it would be easier to acquire a bomb here; I don't think that would be hard at all.

THE BRITISH ARE COMING!
In the mean time, there was a British group of students working with Global Brigades here in Honduras over the holiday. The team working decided to wake them up at the crack of dawn, loudly reading the declaration of independence, of which they had hand written on a scroll (aka toilet paper). Wigs were made, as well as tri-corner hats. I believe there was a horse constructed from a broom present too.
I know the American team thought they were pretty funny. Afterwards the British team said "Congratulations.. Can we go back to bed now?"

On the day of our independence, my housemates, Emily and Christina, were able to smuggle - yes, smuggle - fireworks in downtown Tegucigalpa.

"Thanks to my pyrotechnic partner in crime, Emily, we managed to track down fireworks in a random old guy's living room next to an abandoned penitentiary. It only took two hours of venturing through back alleyways and polluted riverbanks, not to mention a chance encounter with our personal Honduran guide to all things semi-illegal."

We set the fireworks off on our roof around 9 PM. It was a lot of fun! Hopefully the nuns from the convent next door didn't mind.... Woops. We had a few hondurans with us. Logan, another housemate, played ALL AMERICAN music for us, such as the theme song from Top Gun. Only the best.

We were pretty disappointed in their reaction...

Did not know about the British part of your 4th! HAHA, I wish I was there to get some of their reactions..whatever it was? Seems like they just didn't care?
ReplyDeleteLOL.
I was wondering what you did for the 4th! Glad you had fun :-) That was an awesome idea you had for the British visitors too.
ReplyDeleteThe last picture of you on the blog is great!
Love you lots....
I wasn't there for the British invasion, but it seemed like a good time. =)
