OMG- there is a WAL MART in Honduras!!!!
What?!
I wouldn’t believe it unless I saw it.
When we went back to the airport to claim our misplaced luggage (see last blog), we went to the food court at the mall to eat lunch after that.
That was soooo surreal!
I was utterly amazed and overwhelmed walking into that mall. It had an escalator first of all.
That.
That was intense.
Through lost luggage and different events- Lynda was with me. I was so glad that she was with me. It was really comforting to me to have her there.
When we got to the food court- there were like 25 options for lunch!! I felt like my eyes were popping out of my head. I was so overwhelmed. The contact that I was with thought it was funny.
After we finally chose what we wanted to eat after like 15 minutes, we got our food and sat down all together. There were free refills for fountain drinks!! That was soo crazy!
*On a side note, I talked to my sister Jennifer last month on Skype. She asked me if I missed free refills on drinks and I said oh, yes. lol. I thought of her when I found out that the refills were free*
After we ate, we went to Wal-mart. Now, you all have to know that Wal-mart is like my favorite store. Hah. I love Wal-mart. My family joked about buying me a parking space in the Wal-mart parking lot for my 18th birthday. I told my mom that if I ever ran away, I would go to Wal-mart. One time, I did run away and I went there because that is where I told my mom that I would be. Lynda and I probably went to Wal-mart like 5 times the last day we were together before launch.
I walked into Wal-mart with Werness and Aben, a man we met. Werness said that I looked so overwhelmed. I was like a deer in the headlights. There was too much.
Honestly, I wanted to sit down on the floor and curl up in a ball. lol. It was intense. I couldn’t function really. We were in the store part maybe 2 minutes. I couldn’t do it.
That was the shortest Wal-mart shop ever.
I heard that going home is overwhelming, but now I can really understand it.
Whew.
It’s gonna be different, but I know that it will be oh so sweet at the same time!
