Guate, El Salvador, and Honduras pics

For your viewing pleasure a few beautiful pics from Central America
Our first day together in CA:




We only killed one cockroach in that hostel. It also had two fans. Luxury.

















Karla´s form is impeccable on a ride through the Honduran countryside:



The gorgeous Honduran mountains:


Clearly a class joint in a Honduran beach town:



A nice dinner of licuados (milk shakes) and the driest peanut butter and banana sandwich known to humankind. Note the durability of the plastic knife at it bends at a rakish angle:



Intense hike through the jungle to the base of this incredible waterfall in Honduras. It would have taken two days to reach the top (note me being dwarfed at the base of the falls)


Going for a little boat ride with our new friend Kevin to the lake. its probably not at all unusual to see a pack of gringos walking down the street of this small Honduran town with oars.



What did we learn in Central America? Teamwork:


You learn to work with what you´ve got in Central America. We blame the rowing difficulty on the shoddy equipment. Note lack of hardware to attach oar to the boat.




Now in El Salvador. Our friend Ana´s grandmother. I wanted to take her home with me she was the cutest, sweetest lady! I miss my own grannie!



Salvadoran black sand beach pre surfing. Just heavenly!



One of Elizabeths many potential male suitors ordered her a serenade. Lucky!


Hiking the mighty Isalco, a Salvadoran volcano, about 2000 meters. This day we hiked about 8000 meters of volcanos.


How fun! The view made all the hard climing worth it.




Triumphant after conquering the 1300 stairs!!

Oh my goodness! These pictures are fabuous! I hadn´t seen any of them before and I had already forgotten about the cockroach, the pb&b sandwiches, the teamwork and all those stairs. Keep 'em coming!
