2 Days before take-off: the paperwork is not yet complete and my luggage has not been packed. My last 2 weeks here are out of control. I've seen every corner of this little country - either for saying goodbye to family or to get hold of a document or an oficial stamp. By now, I can find my way blind through every ministry in this country (and trust me, there are heaps of them) So I had no time to celebrate my departure. Fortunately, my friends know me well enough to know that I'm not the girl to deny anyone a good party - including myself. That's why they organised me a super surprise-party in my own backyard. Never knew they were so good at hiding stuff from me ;-) It was great seeing my friends a last time. And the gift - an album with photographs, most of which not suitable for publication - is a very precious item to take with me to Honduras. Isabelle, you are awesome - thanks for everything!!

Verrassing! / Surprise!
2 dagen voor vertrek: papieren nog niet allemaal in orde en de bagage nog niet gepakt. Mijn laatste 2 weken hier in ons Belgenlandje zijn een echte heksenketel. Elke hoek van ons landje heb ik gezien, ofwel om familie gedag te zeggen ofwel om een document of stempel te halen. In elk ministerie dat ons land kent (en dat zijn er een hoop, geloof me) kennen ze me nu bij naam en toenaam. Ik heb dus geen tijd gehad om mijn afscheid uitgebreid te vieren. Gelukkig kennen mijn vrienden mij goed genoeg om te weten dat voor mij elke reden goed is voor een feestje. Dus hebben ze het heft in eigen handen genomen en een geweldig verrassingsfeestje in mijn eigen tuin georganiseerd! Nooit geweten dat ze zoveel voor mij geheim kunnen houden ;-) Het was in ieder geval fantastisch om nog een keer mijn vrienden allemaal samen te zien. En de cadeau - een fotoboek vol herinneringen, vaak niet voor publicatie vatbaar - is nu al een gekoesterd item om mee te nemen naar Honduras. Isabelle, je bent geweldig - bedankt voor alles!!
