Two Beers and a Pretzel

Well, it’s raining in San Jose today, and I’ve been trying to take care of some business and couldn’t catch the bus to the volcano, but I’ll be going tomorrow morning.

After dragging 2 Digital SLR’s around for two weeks, I had only used them once.  However, I’ve used the little waterproof Olympus constantly… so, I’ve shipped all the bulky and expensive camera gear back home.  Whether it makes it there is another matter, but it is insured.

Copan Ruins in infra-red

The biggest lemon I’ve ever seen.  I found it on the hike in Copan…  never saw the tree, but we were on a steep hill, so it must have rolled down from somewhere.

The border in Nicaragua.  An impromptu market and a lot of people giving you a horrible exchange rate between Cordobas and Colones.  That’s a constant at any crossing.  When I crossed from Honduras into Nicaragua, they were offering 70 Cordobas for 100 Lempiras (appx $5.29) while the correct exchange rate was 95 for 100.

And then Costa Rica…  everyone had to open their bags for a very brief inspection.  This was slightly more modern with a convenience store integrated with the immigration office.
