... so we dressed up as biting ants. We made ant arms out of black plastic bags that we attached to our real arms with fishing line so when our real arms moved so did our ant arms. It was definitely the height of my engineering skills. The other costumes in our group included Ace Ventura, a ghost, a cheerleader, Cleopatra and, my favorite, a couch surfer. Jenna dressed as a surfer, with a cow hat and a sign on her head that said “ouch” (i.e. cow + ouch ...

... big groups, some were already drinking and it was not yet noon. <br><br>We managed to find a place to stay just opposite Via Via and had a lovely brekkie at Via Via with Piers, an English guy we had met on Utila who had also stayed at Alton´s. He had done the Copan Ruins the day before and was catching a bus to Antigua that afternoon to do some volcanoes. We spent the rest of the day wandering around the center of town, getting some new books from a book exchange and ...

... with the Park ticket but we pay another guide to show us round. Its interesting to see how the buildings of the middle class are made with square blocks brought from mountain quarries and the poor made their houses from uneven rubble from the rivers. There was a large lagoon of clean mountain water so Les Sepultures was a great place to live and housed about 250 people. The scribe was one of the most important people with the shaman also having a ...

... all looked the same without distinction), or they were slightly monstruous (shifting into a jaguar or something). Today, however, we saw distinction. Some of the stelea had beards or goatees. There were several other little faces that smiled, and my favorite was the head of an old man. He was all wrinkled and only had two teeth. I could easily imagine him being someone´s grandfather. <br><br>So after the ruins we had lunch. Lauren continues to out do me from an ...

... thought twice when the last bus driver said that the closest he could drop us off was about 3 miles from the park entrance. There were no taxis or buses so we had to keep our fingers crossed for a pick-up. About half way we got lucky and hitched a ride up to the park. <br><br>At the park, we had lots of decisions to make about which trails to take. Since it is a loop, the park rangers insisted that doing the whole thing ...

We got up early and got a flight to San Sulla Pedro so Danielle did not have to take the ferry again, bit of a wimp if I do say so. From there we went to the bus station to try and figure out how to get to copan and then how to get to antigua. As it turned out there was a bus leaving in 2 hours and it was only 12 dollars so we booked it and we waited, this is the day that everybody was travelling lucky for us not many were going our way the bus was only really ...

... most agreeable. <br> <br> I´ve always found novelty t-shirts to be, generally speaking, eye gougingly lame. <br> <br> You know the one´s I´m talking about - a picture of a squirrel followed by the slogan "Don´t touch my nuts".<br> <br> Or "Female Body Inspector" in bright bold type. <br> <br> But these same lame ***** t-shirts do take on a degree of hilarity when they´re worn by people who clearly have no idea what the **** they mean.<br> <br> You´ll find many a small indigenous ...
