... dig schien mir die Wellblechkonstruktion, die bei jedem Schritt v**daechtig knarrte, nicht. Also war ich ziemlich froh, als wir wied** runt** und in den zweiten Raum gegangen sind. Es gab hi** nicht viel neues - Fotos in **st** Linie und ein paar Fahnen. Wied** beim Eingang, wo wir den Eintritt bezahlten v**suchten die Maenn** mit uns zu reden. Sie hatten ganz offensichtlich ihre Freude an des drei chelas, ganz v**standen, warum wir sie v**stehen, ab** trotzdem ...

... im Laufe der Zeit jedenfalls noch versuchen.
Das Leben ist viel schneller. Obwohl in Restaurants, Bars und ueberall wo du etwas brauchst alles tranquillo ablaeuft, ist das Leben in den Strassen eindeutig nur etwas fuer die Starken. Die Lauten und Schnellen ueberleben, kriegen die Gaeste, verdienen Geld. Daher wird man, vor allem als junge Weisse - chela - mit Rucksack bestuermt, sobald man nur irgendwo um die Ecke biegt. Fuenf, sechs oder mehr junge Burschen wollen einen ...

... nicht weit** beunruhigt schien, in jedem Fall ab** ziemlich muede, entschuldigte ich mich ganz hoeflich fu** meine Panikattacke (eigenartige Aktionen war ** von uns Maedls ja wohl schon gewoehnt, insof**n war es wohl hoffentlich kein groeb**es Problem) und liess ihn weit**schlafen. D** Hubschraub**, d** bis dahin weit** La**m gemacht und durch die Nacht geleuchtet hatte, drehte auch ploetzlich ab und so b**uhigte ich mich ein wenig.

... very early and walked on the beach watching the sun come up and then jumped into the sea to cool off what a great way to start the day. We were going to leave again today but brian wanted to help john set up his solar power system which he was very interested in. So i just hung out reading and swinging in the hammocks and trying my best to stay out of the sun! Hahhahah it was so hot.

We left the next day on Wed about 4pm with John he was collecting his wife from the ...

... were several
communities of houses built with sticks and plastic bags as walls. Our
guide told us that these families made their money by cutting down wood
in the national park and selling it in Leon. He wasn´t sure whether it
was illegal or not. Regardless, it looked like a really tough life.

Compared to other vplcanoes we´ve seen, Cerro Negro was pretty tiny.
But it still looked really cool because the entire surface was black
volcanic rock, as opposed to other ...

... didn´t give it a fair shake. Looked a lot like Guatemala but a bit more modern. No typico clothing. The border crossing was pretty painless, except for this weird oldie from Texas who insisted upon being bffs with us. He has lived in Honduras for 7 years and told us all about his young girlfriend. Who is better than the last one because she is satisfied with $10, whereas the other one would insist upon way more money. Right, as soon as a dude demands more ...

Thanks to an early start, we found ourselves in Leon late on Sunday morning. This gave us some time to set out and begin to explore the town before our first activity. Leon is the former capital of Nicaragua, and it´s a very pretty, old, colonial town. Although there´s clearly more tourism here than in El Salvador, it´s still fairly non-touristy. After walking around the town a bit, we decided to sign up for a tour that had been recommended by ...

... got used to it it was quite funny to see people jumping up from their beds in fright.

Leon is a noisy city, apart from the sirens in the morning there were also a lot of fireworks being let off outside the church nearby our hostel, well they resembled more rockets than fireworks and every time one went off I jumped three feet in the air. My nerves were absolutely shot!

During our first few days in Leon Al and I spent a lot of time indoors, away from ...

After the wonderful and relaxing time on the beach Devin and I headed to Leon to his birthday. I had planned to stay at a hostel for 3 nights and do some Volcano boarding for his birthday. It also worked out well because there was a festival the day before his birthday... so it was promising to be an exciting time!

Arriving in Leon Devin and I drove around and around for a few hours 
looking for the hostel! It wasn't even that big of a city but ...

... br>So
Boris shows up at 4pm and we take his motorcycle 4 miles into the
jungle passing people in heir thatched roofed homes and mule powered
carriages. It's like going back 100 years in time. We make it to my
property and it looks great! .75 acre on the beach and I'm happy as
hell! I take lots of pictures of the lot, the ocean ...
