... this game. Devin just tried to play stupid and it was hilarious. They told us we needed <br>permits for our bikes and Devin answered them by saying the bikes were great, we take them to the beach, la cuidad, all over! Of course he is saying this with a huge smile on his face and I am trying not to laugh! This confuses them slightly but they continue, saying them are going to write us up.... Devin responds, with his huge smile, Great!!! That&#8217;s ...

... s cone is 872 meters high.<br>Our 'Footprint Nicaragua Handbook' mentions that '"the ascent takes between two and four hours, depending on where you start and how fit you are. The path is overgrown, very difficult to follow and full of snakes." Although we knew that from above there must be a very beautiful view of the crater lake (700m below!) and spectacular views to the Golfo de Fonseca and its islands, we decide not to make the ascent of the ...

... attempts to find a way to complete the tour to no avail we were forced to turn back. I guess Suchitoto was just not meant to be...and besides, I hated my slow disobedient horse. After some stops and hikes in a couple of different cities my last stop in El Salvador was in the town of Perquin, headquarters of the Frente Marti de Liberacion Nacional (FMLN). It was here and in nearby villages where significant battles and the infamous massacre ...

... for anything. Mike watched the bikes while I stood in line. El Salvadorians are very friendly and I met 4 people who spoke english. They were happy to help me. One of them explained to the official what we were doing, and I was told we would half too wait apx 1 hour. However they did explain what documents they needed copies of. So Mike copied the documents while I watched the bikes. Then we waited.... during our wait a couple of ...

... in for another hour on the bus. There was one village along the way that isn't centered on the main road, so the bus turns off to go to the town center. Well the roads were being rebuilt in the village, so our bus drove through the construction site! over bumps and piles of dirt and then came back the same way! It was crazy and I thought the bus was going to tip to the side at one point... Nicole was ...

... the bus back to Nacaome. The bus stop was very dirty, like everywhere else, but we were tired, so we sat on the curb anyways, surrounded by corn cobs, empty water bags, lychee shells, and various other articles of garbage. We got back to Nacaome with a bit of sunlight left, but headed back to Nicole's to make dinner. We ate and drank wine and listened to the rain on the tin roof, and passed out!

... the town and back to her apartment. Each night we were safe in her apartment before dark. It's not safe for anyone to walk about at night. Nicole made me a simple meal of mac n cheese out of the box and we sat around drinking wine and listening to the rain on her tin roof. It pretty much rained every night after sunset for about an hour. We then moved into her living room where she has cable TV and A/C!

Hey guys, in central america, now going solo, so have a blog of my own. Done Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras, as you may have seen already. In El Salvador now for a short stint, then off to Nicaragua. Will fill you in with some pics from here as I roll.

This is where you catch the ferry to Nicaragua, whose business is booming after the 'Soccer War' with Honduras and subsequent closing of their mutual border. Like any port town, there are lots of sailors and plenty of working girls. Life at sea tends to raise the men&#8217;s hydraulic levels of course, in some act of sympathetic magic, so when they hit land it&#8217;s only ...
