Vacation Time...

Today begins a week of vacation for the kids...tomorrow is Independence Day here in Honduras and all the kids are off school until next Tuesday...poor us, ha!

We continue to make adjustments to our lives w/o Gershon, Karen, & Jesus. The size of the hole created by their absence doesn't seem to get any smaller, but there are some residual benefits,i.e. Rosa is beginning to blossom, she's suddenly talking much more and becoming more interactive with us. We were afraid she would draw into herself even more since Karen was the only she really ever confided in, but it's been just the opposite. It's nice to see her smiling much more!!!

The boys downstairs are thrilled w/their additional room in the bedroom. We took Gershon's bed down and gave it to one of our guards and Mauricio, Cesar, & Antonio gained some much need additional room.

Traveled to San Luis yesterday to set the pump in the well we drilled there a week ago and we found only sloppy mud in the hole. There was some water, but not nearly enough to develop so we will have to drag everything back into the mountains to drill again. On a positive note, our swivel failed again, but we found a local machinist who works on the big rigs in country and he told us we have a design flaw (we know that) and that he can fix it. By the end of the week we expect to be drilling w/ a much better machine.
