Jamboree Pack Up and Return

5:00 am. It's not raining!   Hondorous woke up to go to get on their bus for Washington. Thu are going tour before returning home. I found out last night that one I the leaders is a lawyer and that Honduras currency is $20 for our $1. So American money you can be rich in ther country.   We found out because they wanted to buy some of our pants. So with Americanlmey our pants are $55. Their money they would be spending $1,100 for the same pair of pants. That's crazy math. We bid them farewell. Then Gallermo one of the Hondorus boys that stayed and did activities with us came crawling out his tent 10 minutes later. The group did not notice that they were missing one. Lol. 

The ambassador uncharged of their group did a head count and noticed on the bus that he was missing. They waited for him. Lol.
