A look into the past and future...

Said Adios to El Salvador, and Hola to Honduras...

This weekend we spent it with my friend Lauren from camp. It was a bit of an adventure finding her, but with a bit of time with the spanish speaking pay phone, we got ahold of her. Here we are in Tegucialpa. The first night we went to this local bar called the Jaguar, where we all got our palms read by a local man. It was hilarious becuase Lauren and her friends had to translate Hana and I's reading. Amazingly, he was pretty accurate on my reading, knowing about two past relationships, the second one being more important than the first, a falling out with a good female friend, a past family tradegy...but he also read a bit into the future...and you will be happy to know mom, that I am going to have "un Hijo" (meaning one boy), as well as a good husband...but in my life, I will have mental problems. Hana's reading was a bit more fuzzy. It was said that she had 2.5 past relationships, her lifeline is long but very thin...also, that she will have one child as well. Lauren also said that her palm reading was pretty accurate.

It was nice to have a home to be in this weekend to chill. We didn't have to worry about getting around, because Lauren was an awesome tour guide with car and could translate for us. We met many of her friends down here and saw the local sites and towns surrouding the capital.

We have had a bit of plans changing. We are not able to do the rafting trip in Costa Rica (due to the company filling up their trip), so we don't have a time crunch anymore. Hana and I decided to head back out to the Caribbean sea! Roatan Island, a Bay Island off the north coast of Honduras. This island is the cheapest place in the world to go diving...so it will be more time of sun, snorkeling, diving, and hopefully meeting a friend of Hanas.
