Wow, last 2 days have been kinda of torture. We drove about 450 miles yesterday trying to get out of Nicaragua and didn´t quite make it. I was kinda glad because crossing 2 international borders in one day would have done me in. As soon as you get within half mile of the border a ton of ¨border rats¨come running up with no appreciation for personal space and start trying to sell you money and help and all in 100 degree weather. Finally made it to Costa Rica and this place really is pretty. Miles of really good beaches and a few active volcanoes. I think we are going to do some snorkeling and maybe diving on Monday and then float the Pacuare River on tuesday. Reallt need a break from riding, my music is getting old and my nerves are fried from all the border chaos. Kinda missed leaving Guatemala. We swam in the best waterfalls and then after hours of dusty dirty road dove in an 80 degree lake to wash all the crud off of us. When we finally got to Puerto Cortez in Honduras, we somehow got the hostel with 150 highschool students that pulled in right behind us and the party was on. No kidding 3 schools buses pulled up a half hour after we got there and so me and Devin went and sat in the Ocean for about 2 hours. It was way too warm, but felt good as the sun went down. Honduras is a really nice country and from a couple of the cities you would never guess it was 3rd world. It is funny to be driving through the mountains and see all these little huts with dirty little kids and then one of them has a cell phone??? Crazy world.
