We decided to head for a river crossing into Guatemala so headed from Frontera Corazal to Bethel in a half hour dash up river. This was a very pretty and romantic trip which then turned into a bit of a nightmare as once on the Guatemala side every stage of the onward jorney ensured that our wallets were emptied to line the local bus driver, immigration officer, tour organiser and almost everyone esles pockets..... This has been something of a running joke for us over the last two weeks with all travel costing about 3 times what it should no matter what bartering you try! Finally we have seen the light and have found that private tourist shuttles (which we loath because of the big TURISMO signs on the side) are the best and oftern cheapest ... read more

Buenos! I am writing to you from Naco. It is a small village outside of Cofradia, Honduras. We arrived monday night and are staying in this village untill next Monday. Currently, I reside with the Hernandez´s. Its a grand time. I have four beautiful sisters and one adorable brother. This is actually the first time I have been alone since I arrived. We really enjoy one anothers company. When I arrived to Honduras, the first thing we did was jump in the back of a pickup truck with all our bags. Sandwiched between Aaron and Elizabeth, I shouted over the rumble of the highway "I think I like Honduras best!" They laughed becuase we had only been in country for 10 miniutes. The feeling stayed, I do like Honduras best. Out of the three countries we ... read more

Décidément , le temps passe à une vitesse démentielle ici ! C'est bon signe vous me direz. Signe que je n'ai pas le temps de m'embêter, et que je suis décidément très occupée !!! Ca change de la dépression latente qui me guettait l'an dernier ! N'ayant pas été très assidue ces derniers jours, je vais m'efforcer de faire un bref compte-rendu de ces semaines passées. Ces dernières semaines à l'école ont été consacrées (... dans l'ordre...) aux révisions pour les partiels, aux partiels, puis aux corrections de partiels, et enfin au laborieux remplissage des carnets de notes. Remplissage qui suit une procédure bien stricte et qui m'a été maintes et maintes fois répétée ..... On ne sait jamais , j'aurais pu oublié !!! Tout doit être écrit à l'encre indélébile , en noir les 65% ... read more

K folks jsut to let u know I"m still alive and well. Enjoying the relaxed prices (at least compared to where I've beem) and am enjoying tons of fresh fruit and dirt cheap fish (not to mention beer). So yeah things are alright. I hit up some canyoning yesterday which was a blast. Maybe not as hardcore as Switzerland but some serous repells. One was like 150 feet from a suspension bridge. It kicked ass. Not too shabby, and the fact that the waterfall went through a hardcore rainforest was amazing. Absoluely loved it. SO heading out to a horse farm tomorrow to relax and meet some people. Hopefully learn a little more spanish. Telling girls they look good won;t get me that far. LOL. Maybe once I gt back I'll attempt to laod some picks. ... read more
