One of the weirdest things about coming into Guatemala was that one of the first people we met was an Australian woman. When we arrived at CasaBonita in Honduras, we were greeted by 2 French women and a Guatemalan man.
I don't think that the French appreciated my sarcasm, of course they're not known for their sense of humor. Actually we really had a great time chatting about different countries and speaking a mix of French, English, and Spanish. I guess my 3 years of high school French wasn't totally useless. When they started to make fun of America I did have to remind them that we do seem to wind up saving them from the Germans a few times a century. Discussion over.
To all the students from Miss Hunnicutt's Spanish 1 class, McDonald's in Central America is a lot different, but it's very good. We took a few pics for ya.
In Central America every store is guarded by someone with either a 12 gauge shotgun or an AK-47. Even the Burger King playground had a guard. Elias decided to go up to the guy at the Chili's and ask for a picture of him and his shotgun. We hope Ashlee appreciates Elias' bold move.
Today was a good day. We basically did all of the leg work to get ready to go to Nicaragua tomorrow. You have to go to the bus station the day before to buy your ticket and we got some food for the ride and TP for the bus--just in case.
Jordan asked the girl working in the food court for a picture and she obliged for an awkward photo. Good times. I've decided that we need to keep transcripts of Jordan and Cory's conversations. I'm pretty sure that by the end of the trip, we will have the next Napoleon Dynamite on our hands. Long nights. More thoughts.
