Well, Will and I had originally planned to go down by bus to Guatemala, but as the death toll of tourists increases due to drug trafficking in Mexico, we changed plans and bought plane tickets. The air is much safer than the warm embrace of Latino bullets.
That being said, we still need to be careful in Central America. While reading the Economist this morning (Ya, I read intelligent people magazines sometimes), the focus piece was about the growing drug trafficking/gang wars in Central America. The two worst countries right now are Honduras and El Salvador. We decided to stay completely out of El Salvador, but we will be in Honduras for a bit. While we are in Honduras we will be staying to the more touristy (and heavily crowded) cities by the ocean. It will be much safer that way. This is gonna be a pretty extreme adventure, but we aren't going to needlessly put ourselves in danger for any reason.
Less than three weeks now,
J
