When I last left you, we were sitting in the Tica Bus Terminal in Guatemala. It turns out that we waited for 5 hours for the AC to be fixed for it to only work for 2 hours. Figures. A rain storm cooled things off in the early afternoon, so the bus was only really hot for a few hours.
It took about 7 hours to make it from Guatemala City to San Salvador, El Salvador. It's now almost 6pm and we still have about 6 hours to go.
El Salvador was a lot like what I expected Guatemala to be. It was actually pretty stark. As soon as we crossed the border, we went to a much darker place. It wasn't that we felt or saw any danger, but the colors weren't as bring, the landscape wasn't as pretty, and there was a lot more razor wire.
The Tica bus is nice. So far we've seen movies in Spanish and English. The bus has a bathroom on board but they don't provide toilet paper...which would have been nice to know before we got on it for 14 hours. We have a backup plan, but trust me...you don't wanna know. Also, for a region that serves so many beans, you would think having quality tp would be more of a priority, but that's just my two quetzales.
