In El Salvador things "happen". Not everything always goes as planned. Today we discovered that the truck we've been riding in each day...now known as the "Green Hornet"...was not "La Tortuga" painted green but an entirely different truck! I thought it rode a little smoother than last year and it hasn't had to have a drink to get up the mountain yet but I thought maybe it had been overhauled while we were gone. Of course, now that I know, it doesn't look a bit like Tortuga......all little old trucks must look the same to me! Anyway, this morning when we arrived on the square we found Tortuga, not the Green Hornet, waiting for us because the Hornet is not working...something about a wheel or the suspension.
So we climbed in Tortuga and started out of town but we got to the edge of town, by the cemetery, and came to a halt. It seems that Tortuga has no license plates and there was a police check point around the corner so...school had to be canceled for the day.
Warren, Kimberly and I walked around the cemetery for a while.....
and then walked back up the hill into town. We will miss school in Munoces again tomorrow because our presence has been requested at the monthly meeting of representatives of all the caserios here at the Pastoral House. We hope to have a full day of classes on Friday but last Friday classes were cut short for some unknown reason so..... So far this week we have only had one full day of school!
