As a trade, we have Political Instability Days.
On June 28 (just a little over a week after I left the country following spring term), the Honduran President Manuel Zelaya was removed. An overview of the situation can be gathered here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Honduran_constitutional_crisis
On Monday, September 21, he re-entered the country, and two days of curfew followed. To my understanding, this was to prevent his supporters from rallying. The Amandas and I lazed around like cats in our house. Bowen and I took whimsical photos of ourselves:
This Sunday is the presidential election. Given the wildness sometimes surrounding elections even in much more stable countries, we figured it might be an easy off day the following Monday, the 30th. I actually prayed for it, since it's my birthday... until I noticed that the Bible constantly advises we pray for peace in government. So I stopped, awhile back.
We still get the day free though! Just found out today. I guess that might quell any post-election disputing. Now if only the US would recognize the victor.
Guess I can be more leisurely in plotting my mid-parcial exam...
