Hotel San Pedro Tegucigalpa

... made by this mad American artist who owns not only the bar but also the 'huts’ that serve as luxury accommodation on the island. The mosaic craziness continues along raised walkways, to seating areas with swings, tunnels and staircases leading to the banos or to other discreet seating areas. Rum was the drink of choice and normally was bought by the bottle from the local shops and consumed prior to heading out to one of the above bars. On one or two ...

... br><br>What a lovely Buenos Dias at O Dark Hundred in the morning and an even better Buen Viaje to send people off with of their final memories of San Salvador. Ironically, a No Fumar (No Smoking to my non-fluent friends) hangs in the waiting room but it is partially obscured by a haze of diesel smoke. And to think I put on my nice traveling clothes only to be bathed in exhaust. <br><br>And just as a side note...I don't want to hear that the US pollutes ...

... br><br>I don't think the woman standing outside her store quite knew what she was wearing. Picture a faded yellow t-shirt with the words "I'm With Stupid" emblazoned across the front. Underneath this script of course was the obligatory witty arrow pointing to the side so as to target and embarrass whoever is standing next to her. Now picture this shirt stretching across a belly that was seriously about 12 months pregnant and straining against ...

... war. Aber ja, ein Taxifahrer half mir dann ein billiges Hostal zu finden. War mal wieder ziemlich haesslich mein Zimmer, aber nach Bluefields schockt mich so schnell nichts mehr... In Tegucigalpa habe ich mir dann ein bisschen die Stadt angeschaut, blieb aber nur fuer zwei Tage dort. War mal wieder im Kino, meine neue Beschaeftigung wenns mir langweilig wird... Und in einer topmodernen doofen Shopping Mall. Da gabs Zara und Mango ...

... 2 more, it had like 2 different types of onions i dunno if they were pickled or what but the had 3 different sauces 2 red one white only 12L i was impressed wow.. but in general the people were city folk pretty unfriendly busy going on with their own business - its been the most expensive place ive been so far and i cant wait to leave but a hot shower was pretty nice for a change.

... travel in Central America, Chiapas, and Yucatan in 1841. As part of the story, Stephens was actually able to buy the city of Copan for a sum of $50 and had dreams of floating it down the river and into museums in the United States. After all that... do you remember the names of the kings who ruled Copan ? What about the name of the founder? (without going back to read it) After Copan Ruinas, I took a long bus ride (well many different long bus rides) but ...

... and paid that, then the last bit of the paperwork. Now they told us we had to come back in 8 days to get the passports returned with the new stamp, no body had mentioned the delay before. We explained that we were going to be in Nicaragua in 5 days, they initially insisted we had to wait 8 days, and then they relented a bit and told us to come back in 5 days. Normally no problem, but there is nothing else we really want to see with the exception of one town ...

... than catching the later boat and spending the night in the somewhat boring town of La Ceiba, I opted instead to spend one more night on the island and make sure that I rose early enough to catch the 6:20 boat the following morning. But, as always seems to be the case when I have a particularly early rise to look forward to the following day, I struggled to fall asleep until the wee hours of the morning, which meant that I awoke at 05:30 tired, irritable, and suffering from that ...

Obligatory travel note - it was an uneventful six hour bus trip from Salvador to Teguz (I like these nicknames which are much easier to spell) with and uneventful border crossing, but torture by DVD was included. They played: (1) a skipping disc of "Vantage Point," a conceit of a movie I had never heard of and was perfectly happy that way; and (2) an unfortunately perfectly fine disc of "Meet The Spartans." Someone needs to alert Dick Cheney ...

Last night Stacey and I got to attend a birthday party for a friend of Eddie and Roofie's from church. It was a great time. The group we hung out with were most of the musicians from church. They are a very rambunctious group. Hondurans love to make fun of each other. This seems to be one of their main sources of humor. However, it is in a ...
