Today was the Honduran Independence day (9/15), so all 600 of us went out to make a parade.  We were all bused to the local army battalion, and we marched back on the road.  Every year I guess they pull out the drums for this occasion, so during the last three weeks the “marching band (consisting soley of drums)” has been practicing for hours everyday on the ranch.  The funny thing is that we marched on the highway and only passed a few houses.  Mostly people driving by in buses were the only ones to see us.  Here we are out in the middle of nowhere, its hot and dusty, and occasional buses and trucks come riding by...the perfect place for a parade!  It didn’t matter though…what kid doesn’t like to be in a parade!
