Muckers Does Honduras

We received this message from Aunt M the other day:

I´m in Honduras and doing well.  The orphanage is amazing ... I don´t have time to give you all the details, but wanted to let everyone know that I´m safe and doing well. We are headed to the house with special needs girls to [serial] cast two of them this morning, then off to the city of Tegucigalpa (Teguc) for the evening. Tomorrow we will take a bus from the city to a cloud forest where we will hike and stay with granola-loving hippy Germans at a bed and breakfast. I will write again soon! Love you all!

It sounds like she's very happy there. I hope she doesn't decide to remain there indefinitely!

There are two very odd things about this e-mail message, though ... 1. She doesn't jive well with free-spirited hippy-types. And 2. Aunt M absolutely DOES NOT HIKE. I think the last time she went hiking was in 1989. We were at a state park in who-knows-what-state (I think the word "Ash" was in the name of the park), and after hiking through dense woods, jagged rocks, caverns and ledges, she sat down in the middle of the path and announced, "I am NOT. GOING. ANY. FARTHER."

I can't wait to hear about her stay with the granola-loving-hippy-Germans. Should be interesting.
