Still Calm

Things are still moving along here at the casa despite problems in the country. Masbely and some of the ladies went with some of the older kids to the rallies in the city center in favor of the return of Mel as president. Today is a general strike nationwide with most workers supposedly going on strike in protest of the coup. I am not going out to see what is open or not and I am following the embassys advice to stay home and not participate in the protests. Hopefully the UN, US and others can work out some deal to end the matter soon.
Joe is passing through here today to visit after spending 6 weeks in Costa Rica studying Spanish. He was planning on staying longer but decided to cut short his visit so he is heading home.
