A ball of fire or a space shuttle

minutes to 9pm (Belizean time -6 Central America , Feb 21, 2010), a ball of fire was seen in the sky, oooooooooops it was not a ball of fire, and nope it was not  a meteorite it was Endeavour (space shuttle) that was heading to Florida to land at the Kennedy Space Center, yeah local radio stations and news channels here in Belize where talking that something had crashed in the small village of Ontario in the Cayo District, Belize.

I was hearing A Guatemalan Radio, where i heard about the "Unknown ball of fire" from there i started to research in the internet and found out that it was a space shuttle that illuminated the sky's of Guatemala Honduras and Belize; i Remember seeing the same "ball of fire" around 199x where it also passed through Central American sky's and that yes caused some minor accidents in Mexico where car drivers where saying that they saw a ball of fire and the distraction caused them to crash ..(up to right now i have not heard any bad news, only panic persons and lots of calls to local radios, TV)

oh well thanks God it was nothing to be alarmed, but i think that if such things, will be passing or occurring. NASA or our own local news should let the people know what is expected to see and hear when the space shuttle pass by..

Greetings to the crew and all the people involved in such a historic event.

This picture shows the landing ground tracks of Endeavour space shuttle.

peace time to go to sleep..

ESCL - Day 0

After waiting so much time and counting the days XXD, Finally the first Central American Open Source Summit arrived, all exited that i was i not even did go sleep cause i was packing for my big trip all around Central America in bus witch is known as the "Open Source Bus" by ESCL(encuentro centroamericano de software libre) Community.

After all this fuss i was ready, but still i was so nervous cause; first it was my first time that i was going to travel so far by my self, second i had in mind that i have so much responiblites @ work and third i was thinking if the little pocket money that i was taking will do the trike jeje u know take me to my destination and bring me back home.. jejeje

well the day arrived Tuesday June 16, 2009 all anxious i took my bags and waited for the taxi driver who never appeared i had to go to the highway and look for one by then it was almost 7am and i was waiting sine 5:45am jeje i felt like i will not make it on time to take the micro bus in Melchor De Mencos Guatemala wich was to take me to Santa Elena Peten Guatemala to aboard my Plain that was to take me to Guatemala City (Maya De Oro)jejej.


Once i was in Santa Elena the first thing i did was buy my ticket second i decided that i will treat my self a Burger @ Burger Kind so that was my first lunch for the day with coffee and lots of coffee so i don't fall at sleep cause it was my first time i was to travel during the day.

All exited i spend all my Quetzales so i had to pay a man who was driving a tuck tuck moto taxi and he took me to a ATM machine from there i asked him to take me to buy a Tigo Chip for my phone so i can be in contact with Luis (AKA l.fac) from Guatemala City who was going to give me a place to sleep so i can take the bus.

one in the terminal i called l.fac and told him that i am on my way also i text my mom to tell her that i am on my way and also my special friend in Belize it was an international text.


ooooooh yeah almost forgot jejej i boarded the bus, and like 1 hours of traveling the bus started to give problems jeje yeah i felt nervous cause me by my self not knowing where i am , but the driver called his office and a next bus arrived i was like thanks lots ...


Finally after 8 hours of travel the bus arrived Guatemala and i was happy to be safe in Guatemala..After few calls i meet L.fac in the terminal.. thanks to him i was able to make it to take the Bus that was to take us to Esteli Nicaragua.

Motivación

Promover la unión entre los Grupos de Usuarios de los Países centroamericanos y compartir experiencias. En Centroamérica todos los países se encuentran a muy poca distancia unos de otros, pero esta ventaja no se ha aprovechado como factor de integración de esfuerzos en objetivos comunes, específicamente en objetivos de promoción y difusión del software libre. Por eso aprovechando la cercanía cultural y geográfica nace la idea de realizar el Primer Encuentro Centroamericano de Software Libre.

Objetivos

• Reunir experiencias de organización por parte de los Grupos de Usuarios de los diferentes países
• Compartir conocimiento técnico en áreas donde cada grupo cuente con mayor nivel
• Crear lazos sociales y cohesión de ideas entre comunidades regionales
• Fijar objetivos comunes para el impulso del Software Libre en Centroamérica
