Day 2-June 15-Finally in Honduras

The 5 Gettysburg crew tried to get some sleep at the airport before our 4:00 am flight. Our flights from Dulles to El Salvador, and then Honduras, went very well. We were able to get our medical supplies and drugs through customs without much trouble. Each of us have 2 large suitcases. We spent a few hours waiting for all the other team members to arrive at the airport.

By 3:00 pm everyone had arrived. We loaded all the luggage into a large truck and got everyone on 2 buses. There was a strong police presence loading the luggage, leading us, and on the buses.

The drive was several hours and steadily climbed into the mountains. The last 12 miles were on winding mountain dirt roads. San Luis is pretty remote to say the least. After our arrival we had an orientation, followed by a nice dinner that was put on by some of the towns people, and got settled into our rooms.Les mer
