... und zum fruehstueck geiels frisches obst, ananas, erdbeeren, papaya, banane,....alles.
gestern war ich dann auch zum 1. mal in der shcule, allerdings nur fuer 15 min kurz am internet, da freitags nix los ist. danach nur kurz mit carmen in der mall, ja auch sowas gibts hier, um geld zu wechseln. sonst habe ich bisher eigentlich nicht soviel gemahct, da ich die ganze zeit nich muede war. gestern abend war ich noch mit david im theater vom festival ...

... that the people live in that had us doubting her capabilities. She got us there and I have to tell you I don’t think there is any way we would have found this place in the dark without her after making several turns down random streets.

Oh and I have come to the determination that Costa Rica is a very hot country. Being in a humid area adds a whole new element to the heat. I am so grateful for our dry heat at home.

... Sloppy-chic, shabby- chic, slutty-chic, studly-chic or I-want-you-to-think-I-don’t-care- chic. This campus was no different. I waded through all the people to try to find something to eat. I stopped at a counter that had a lot of people. I figured that if I watched and listened that I would know what to do when it was my turn. Oh how wrong I was.

I pointed at what I wanted. She gave me something else. I got scared and flustered and just ...

... overlooks the main plaza and other colonial era buildings and the place echoes with street vendors and church bells. People relaxing and enjoying life seems to be the focal point of this place. How often can you sit at a sidewalk restaurant in remote El Salvador and watch a style of life so different than at home?

The best part is that no one has asked me if I am from CNN. I guess they haven't struck here like in Tegucigalpa.

... er achter...ook goed!

Nadat de auto achter het hek geparkeerd was zijn we de stad ingegaan voor ontbijt en zijn we op zoek gegaan naar een nieuwe camera. Om een uur of drie hebben we een taxi genomen naar het ziekenhuis om J&M te bezoeken.....we waren blij ze te zien!!
We hebben veel gepraat en koffie gedronken in de buitentuin. Clinica Biblica is een prima ziekenhuis!!
Het ziet er naar uit dat Margreet maandag rond twaalf uur weg mag.....dan hebben we nog een week samen!!

... in Honduras ist. Eine grosse haessliche Industrie-Stadt. Aber das schaffte mir einen Tag, um zu entscheiden, wohin es denn gehen soll... Gelandet bin ich dann schliesslich in El Salvador, obwohl das eigentlich nie geplant war. Wollte dieses Land auslassen, einfach so, nicht aus einem bestimmten Grund... Aber ja, da bin ich nun...=) So kanns gehen. San Salvador ist die Hauptstadt von El Salvador. Da bin ich als erstes hin. Hat ziemliche Bandenprobleme ...

... bees nest. Our next stop was the ceremonial city of San Andres. This site includes Mayan pyramids as well as the ruins of Spanish indigo industry. Mario pointed out that the Maya and the Spanish followed essentially the same blueprint for their town centers: a large center plaza surrounded by religious and government buildings. Just another example of focusing on our similarities ...

Scott: So I think we left it in Antiguia, Guatemala but i'll leave that for now as Han as done it and im sure will whack it on the blog when she gets a chance. We satyed an extra night in Guatemala, as we found an Irish bar, a pub quiz night and a lively local to drink the night away with. We got the El Salvador some 8 to 10 days ago, I forget. We stopped the night in the little/big town of Santa Ana. The centre was fairly small. The square was surrounded by a newly painted ...

... the city. It was an amazing experience and if any of you are ever in Nicaragua, HIKE A VOLCANO!!! While on our last trip to Leon, we also revisited the famous rooster fights to share some beers with friends and immerse ourselves with the locals in a "sport" they love so much. We also enjoyed some live music in the city and dined at the restaurants that have become our favourites, and of course, went to the "air conditioned" movie theatre to see the new Sex ...
