The 40-foot container full of supplies the hospital receives once or twice a year finally arrived a few days ago! On the morning of it's arrival we got word the driver had left La Ceiba and was on his way here. Iain and I rushed out to meet him half-way since the main road through one of the towns here was all torn up and under construction and we had to find him an alternate route through before he got stuck. The plan was to lead the semi through some narrow side streets while I rode between the cab and the trailer pushing low electrical cables up and out of the way with a long broom. The driver was a master at weaving between wires, missing most by just a few inches. The rest were easily pushed up and out of the way as we drove by.

Below are some pictures taken of the unloading process:
