Sorry I have been really bad with my blog lately but here are some articles that I think you all might find interesting. The articles lay out a pretty ugly picture but I do think it is a fairly truthful picture, I do also want to state however though that most of the rural areas (aka our sites) are a lot safer especially because we are a part of the community. The travel in the country and the increasing issue of wrong place wrong time is the real issue for keeping PC in Honduras. We will just have to wait and see what they decide however.
