In the evening we headed to Rolando’s friend’s beachfront house. The house was basic, but we had our own room with an air conditioner. We made dinner together and went for a late night swim in the fish shaped pool to cool off.
We spent the next few days hanging around in hammocks and swiming to combat the humidity.
The ocean was very violent. The waves were huge. We went for swims with extreme caution. Every 5 seconds we had to dive to the bottom to avoid being tossed around like a rag doll. Occasionally, a wave would follow another wave closely and catch us off guard and toss us around a washing machine. Fortunately the ground was rock free so the worst that would happen was a little disorientation and black volcanic sand in all your cracks.
Being at the beach, relaxing, drinking fresh coconut milk and enjoying each others company was a great respite from some hard travel. Oh what tough lives we lead...!

This spider is REALLY that big
Took this while we were stranded in Perquin on the El Salvador - Hondorus border because the buses were being burned and it happened to be independence weekend.

I can just feel Jesse cringing now. That is one huge spider! Your being tossed around like in a washing machine made me cringe even more than the spider. Love and blessings, Ma C
