Just as we were getting things packed up to leave for Guatemala this morning we heard a loud bang, but thought nothing of it. Having decided to sleep in until almost eight in the morning as our drive for the day was not that long had resulted in us staying in Honduras for at least another day. The maid knocked on our door and said something about the car. I said I didn’t understand what she was saying so she led me to the street. As I descended the stairs I saw a crowd of people standing on the street’s edge, looking at the crumpled front left side of our car. Someone had backed into it, and now the left headlight was smashed, the bumper was hanging a little low, the hood had been pushed in and slightly up, and the driver’s side door caught a little when opening. But the car started up, and although parts were dragging on the tire, we were able to drive it to the mechanic’s who says it will be fixed by noon tomorrow. So here we sit for another day in Honduras. We don’t have insurance on the car, but the husband of the lady who hit it is apparently taking care of it. Hopefully they do a good job and we are able to continue on with our journey safely.
Tyler.
