As you wait in giddy anticipation for my life updates, feast your eyes on this...
It's a custom creation designed by my friend Mandy...a bracelet depicting the story of the Honduran political crisis that, thank the Lord, is basically over. Que creative, right!?
It's handmade with silver and precious stones. You can order them via her Facebook page, or you can email me and I'll put you in touch with her.
Delivery time is approximately 2 weeks after ordering, and costs L. 1,700 (about $90).
This is the story behind the jewelry...
There once was a president (Mel's cowboy hat) that violated the constitution and national institutions. He tried to remain in power via the fourth ballot box (4 colored stones). He was so disrespectful that he said that neither the Virgin of Suyapa nor God could stop his plan (Virgin of Suyapa charm). And then, by the national institutions (Congress, MP, CS) and based on Article 239 of the Honduran Constitution, he was sent abroad (airplane charm). Together, all the Honduran people, government, and armed forces (doll charms) fought 5 months (5 pearls) to defend its sovereignty (Honduran flag charm). And on election day, the sovereign people spoke as never before by voting among the five political parties (5 colored stones, each color depicting each party). They selected the candidate of their choice, recovering and achieving peace for their country (dove charm).
Que bella! It brings tears to my eyes. I've GOT to have one! :)

I have been wondering what you are up to lately! We haven't heard anything about how the job is going, your invitation business, or any of your other Honduras adventures! Hope all is well. Take care.
