November 1, 2008

How would you feel if the police came to your door and said we have a problem? Not a problem with you or anything associated with you. They have a problem they need us to help them with. Hum, could it be it's the first of the month and they want their monthly payment. Yep, think that's it. We pay them 500 limpiras (~27 dollars) each month. Some people call it protection money, some people call it a bride, here we just consider it the cost of doing business in Honduras. We give them their money then make them sign a receipt saying they received the money (signing a receipt for your "doing business" money - that's different) and we keep a copy. A little different than the States.

Day six of rain and counting.
