This was a travel day, up a little before 4 a.m. and not enough time for a morning blog.
The flight to Tegucigalpa was uneventful–enjoyed seeing friends (in Christ) in the airport in Houston, and hooked up with Howard and Jane Norton to accompany them to Honduras for their orientation visit. Howard has been selected as the next President of Baxter Institute; this was Jane’s first trip to campus, so she was traveling to see her future home for the next 2 1/2 years!
We had to fill out one more form at the Teguc airport–a sworn statement that we weren’t sick and hadn’t had contact with anyone that was sick. Swine flu cautions!
Lunch on campus (Italian pasta with Italian vegetables). But they couldn’t fool me! The tortillas didn’t look or taste all that Italian to me!
A fruitful day of meetings with various people on campus to work out transition details, strategic planning processes, and a host of other little details demanding attention. I enjoyed spending time with the students. I know this week will fly by. Seminario guests will start arriving on Wednesday, and the latter part of the week will fill quickly.
I will write more when I can. Hasta pronto! (See you soon!)
