just a short update to let everyone know i am alive.

we have made our way from nicaragua to el salvador and now in honduras.  el salvador wasn´t as sketchy as we had heard because we stayed out of the sketchiness for the most part.  we visited the Monseñor Romero memorial which was really interesting. i probably can´t do it justice to explain it very well but he was a Jesuit (bad spelling, sorry) priest who spoke out against the massacres that were happening around el salvador in the 1970s. really, you should google/wikipedia him because there is a lot history there that i cant even begin to explain.  the people we met in el salvador were very straightfoward and helpful unlike the nicaraguans who seemed to lead us in circles sometimes so that was a pleasant surprise.

 like i said, we made our way to honduras in the past few days. we had to stop in san pedro sula because the bus took forever and we couldnt catch a bus to the coast until this morning.  san pedro sula is probably where half of our clothes come from because it is a huge textiles industry kind of city so if you check your old navy/target tags and see honduras, it is likely it might be from there!  there wasnt much to see so we ate dinner, slept and made our way back to the bus station to come to the coast - ceiba.  we are spending the night here and catching a ferry to the bay islands tomorrow!  on the islands we are going to be taking scuba lessons! im a little nervous because snorkeling freaks me out but hey, its a good deal and a once in a lifetime opportunity so why let a little fear hold me back?

hope all is well in the states!
GO WOLFPACK!
