Special Announcement

The President of Honduras: Manuel Zelaya Rosales

I must say the Katie Clarke inside of me really does not want to post this blog today because of the inconsistency in unevenly spaced postings - not very asthetically pleasing! But it is a special day so I think we can make acceptions?

Just after I posted my blog yesterday about having a mundane week, I find out some news to completely change that! Ok so im all packed and ready for the camp, I go to sleep and am woken up at about 11.30pm by my phone ringing, in my usual half asleep state I just keep cancelling the call because all I can think about is that I want to sleep and its annoying! A bit later Carlota comes into my room and wakes me up properly to speak to Elly on the phone from ICYE. She was cancelling the ICYE camp and advising me to stay in the house for the next few days as its potentially too dangerous to go outside!!! Umm what?? So I dont fully understand this because A)I was half asleep, B) its about politics and C) I cant find any news about it in English. However what I understand is this... there has been alot of tension in Honduras the last few days because the president wants to do something with the military, that has something to do with Venezuela, but the courts are saying its actually illegal! Exactly what I have yet to understand! There is going to be a vote or something on Sunday but last night the big people in power of the military resigned, thats the heads of army, navy and airforce! I also want to say that it might have something to do with socialism? Dont know, anyway this has caused even more chaos, confusion and arguments and no-one knows what the outcome is going to be. So thats why I have to stay at home until further notice! I think ICYE are being a bit overprotective because Carlota has still gone to work as usual and the nurses are still coming to do thier shifts!

Oh well I shall just study some spanish and eat lots of biscuits no doubt! Well I did go to the gym last night!
