Alive and Kickin! (As mi papa would say!)
... police on the microbus.... At least I knew I was safe! Road rules here exist, however they are not fully obeyed by the majority of the population.

Volcano boarding and hiking Volcan Telica
... like washing clothes or tattooing your skin. He had clearly gone to great effort to research the local animals and plants and it really paid off. The guides at Quetzaltrekkers are all volunteers.
