After running from one cop stop and bribing 2, we’re in Granada. I’ve only been stopped since I met Tomas again, coincidence?

There was a tsunami warning here this morning. The danger time has passed, all quiet, all well. I’m safe and sound.

Staying another day or two at Rancho Tranquilo scouting potential lodge locations. Nice part of the world.

Fully recovered now. Very relaxed pace of life on the beach in Jiquilillo. Nice place to spend a few days.

Made it to Leon. 3 hours in Honduras was hell. 9 police check points in 200km, too many bribes. Glad to have survived. Viva Nicaragua…

I think Avatar in 3D might be the best film I have ever seen. You must see it in 3D if you still can. Words fail me, incredible.

Tomas and I got separated again on the way to the movie. Seeing the later showing of Avatar in 3D then maybe a little party after…

After a little boogie boarding in San Diego this morning we’re in San Salvador. Looks just like the US. Hopefully seeing Avatar in 3D later.

Met Tomas in Taxisco, outrageously slow border crossing, ~4 hours. In El Tunco, El Salvador. Seems like a small, sleepy, surf town.

I lost track of Tomas just as we left Antigua. 3 hours later, can’t find him. Here’s hoping he sees my emails. Another night in Antigua…

Change of plan, assuming Tomas gets his bike up the hill, we’re going straight to the beach in El Salvador. Saturday night, new country.

Two groups of 10 and 14 people arriving at Earth Lodge today. Might get messy. I bailed out of poker last night, still 110 Quetzales up.

I just won both 2 games of poker. I’m 110 Quetzales up. Trying not to let it go to my head. Uh oh, another game, am I in or out…

We’re at Earth Lodge near Antigua after a crazy ride from Puerto Barrios yesterday. One night in Livingston was quite enough!
