auna-go-round: Scaredy-Cat in Paradise
http://aunagoround.blogspot.com/2007/07/scaredy-cat-in-paradise.html
Travel in Central America. Monday, July 9, 2007. We found the one scuba-diving school that is based out of a nearby caye, called Jewel Caye, a remote fishing town with a population of about 200 (which is much nicer than the touristy Bay Islands, named Utila and Roatan). They don't have cars or even motorbikes there. Hooray for no noise polution! My vacation away from my vacation. So far I've seen amazing things: a myriad of fish, including a barracuda, a jellyfish, and beautiful coral. Summer in the city.

auna-go-round: May 2007
http://aunagoround.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Travel in Central America. Wednesday, May 30, 2007. Note to self: red-eye flights are not a good idea. I am currently in Chisec, Guatemala. It´s day three and I´m just getting over the ¨What am I doing here? We´ve definitely had some amazing experiences thus far. We´ve ridden in three buses with three very different drivers: #1 was medium, #2 was fast, and #3 was faster. On that 3rd bus we weren´t sure we were going to make it. Today we visited La Candelaria caves and were led on a private tour down the ...

auna-go-round: summer in the city
http://aunagoround.blogspot.com/2007/07/summer-in-city.html
Travel in Central America. Monday, July 30, 2007. Summer in the city. Culture of San Salvador: very modern and metropolitan in areas near the city center, again, not too different to what I´m used to in Seattle. There are a lot of fashionistas and many educated people who appreciate art and literature. Malls are very popular here. Big time. It´s where middle class and upper class people go. And they´re very similar to those in the U.S. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

auna-go-round: Ode to El Salvador
http://aunagoround.blogspot.com/2007/07/ode-to-el-salvador.html
Travel in Central America. Tuesday, July 24, 2007. Ode to El Salvador. So far, El Salvador rocks:. 1 the food offers more variety. 2 the people are incredibly friendly. they still stare at us, like in Guatemala and Honduras, but when we say hello they respond and greet us. also, a few people have gone out of their way t o help us. 3 there are few gringos here. 4 the beautiful landscapes are never ending. Guatemala and Honduras had amazing landscapes, too, but the ones here have so far been unrelenting.

auna-go-round: small fish in a big pot of warm milk
http://aunagoround.blogspot.com/2007/08/small-fish-in-big-pot-of-warm-milk.html
Travel in Central America. Sunday, August 12, 2007. Small fish in a big pot of warm milk. Where to start, where to start. Before leaving San Salvador we visited Joya de Ceren, the Maya version of Italy´s Pompeii. It´s an entire village preserved in volcanic ash. Even the corn and beans on the kitchen tables had stayed preserved. I finished Harry Potter in three days, although usually when the new books are released I can do it in two. Yes, I have an addiction. We attempted to catch a bus to one of the ne...

auna-go-round: run away if you spot a snake called a timbo
http://aunagoround.blogspot.com/2007/08/run-away-if-you-spot-snake-called-timbo.html
Travel in Central America. Friday, August 17, 2007. Run away if you spot a snake called a timbo. We ended our time in El Salvador with a bang. In Juayua we did go on the tour to the waterfalls I mentioned; these were amazing! We met some very nice young Brits and afterward remarked that they were some of the few travellers we've met on this trip that we liked well enough. Odd, huh? 1 "Why can't these people prepare their food differently? 2 "We should just force them to recycle.". One of the most magnifi...

auna-go-round: It´s a fried, fried world
http://aunagoround.blogspot.com/2007/07/we-are-back-in-santa-rosa-after-little.html
Travel in Central America. Saturday, July 21, 2007. It´s a fried, fried world. Last night was our first experience with cucarachas in our hotel room. Which I must say is strange for two reasons:. 1) This was only the third time in all of trip when we´d seen cockroaches and we expected to see lots more in this area. 2) This was a very clean hotel, much cleaner than some in which we´ve stayed. In fact, we´ve ranked it as one of our faves. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

auna-go-round: June 2007
http://aunagoround.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Travel in Central America. Tuesday, June 26, 2007. I'm a bad person. For not posting, that is. There's nothing quite like sitting on a 60 meter-high Maya temple, watching spider monkeys and oscillating turkeys as the sun rises. We caught some serious air. Transportation in Guatemala, be it bus or boat, is not for the faint-hearted. The boat stopped several times, once for a pit stop where we all drank from coconuts, and once to explore some amazing caves near a hot springs. Friday, June 8, 2007. A great ...
