Oh man Time Flies!

Holy Crap it´s March!
Well I guess it has been Marzo for over un semana but still, time flies!
To get you caught up a tid bit. We climbed Tajumulco and then back to Xela. The next day we caught a bus to Guatemala City to the main bus terminal which basically means we got dropped in the middle of Guate City and had little idea of what to do next. So we chatted up a friendly taxi man who said he would shuttle us to another bus terminal that would get us to our destination, the El Salvadoran border. (I cannot believe that we are out of El Salvador already!) Anyway the drive and the border came pretty quick but the light was fading, and after spending hours on a bus, more or less cramped the whole time it was time for a quick stretch of the legs to cross the river peace, get stamped a few times, get ripped off big time by money changers, and then hop back on the bus! Quick note (if you are nervous or time crunched do not deal with money changers, they are all out to get you and sometimes mind math is not so good when you are thinking of too manythings and they are using crooked math on fixed calculators.) So eventually we got off the bus in Ahuachapan, and found one of the last buses to Tacuba. Wondering the quiet and dark streets of Tacuba we were attempting to find the hostel called Mamas and Papas. We found it after some incorrect and drunken directions were fixed by another gentleman fixing his car. At Mamas and Papas we ran into, amoung others, Manolo, our tour guru. We had breakfast the next morning at the hostel and headed out for a fabulous day of jumping in a river! We had a Great time, jumping off the last waterfall-water hole was an exciting 12m jump, Kyle convinced me I could do a back flip off of a smaller ledge and we tried many other variations of jumps and diving off of 2m, 4m, 8m, and 12ms. Tons of fun. (pictures soonish?)
We decided to leave the next morning to head to another park with three Volcanoes surrounding it, Cerro Verde. We had hoped to climb all three in fewer days but we soon found that the park is actually on top of the oldest volcano, Cerro Verde, a very small park, more focused on family weekend adventures and not the likes of Kyle and I. We found that you could only do one hike a day because that´s when the guards left, 11am, no earlier, no later, and there were ladrones in the hills that would take everything you owned, even the clothes off your back. We heard from the gentleman whose place we were staying at (camping) that some people had come down one of the mountains with nothing on, just like Adam and Eve, Kyle and I almost wanted to start climbing the mountain one morning, and start naked, that way you couldnt get robbed! (well maybe carry a water bottle or something to drink). We eventually settled on Climbing Izalco, the most active of the volcano, once called the Lighthouse of the Pacific, as it had been erupting for nearly 200 years before becoming silent in 1957 (I think my info is correct, but Im going on shaky memory). We actually started at a higher elevation than the peak of Izalco so we climbed two mountains in reality. We left our guides in the dust and had a pretty cool view from the top of Izalco.
We then packed up again and headed to Santa Ana, a changing point to Metápan, where we had hopes of catching a quick bus to the border of Honduras, but we were miss informed a number of times and finally just sat at the bus station, from 930 until 1200 when we left on a bus that inched is way along a 60km stretch of mountain dirt road that lasted something like 3+hours! We finaly hopped across the border later that day and ended up in Antigua Ocotepeque, where we caught a bus to San Pedro de Sula, where we stayed the night in some shack of a hotel and were off the next morning, to Tela! And now you are caught up!
Today we spend on a tour out to a point and national park. We had a guide walk us through a short trail in the ´jungle´ and then got a break to walk-swim through the Tunnel of love, a cool split in one of the points, a tunnel from one bay to another! And then we snorkeled for about an hour, chasing fishes and floating as the waves pushed the fan corals in a waving motion. We saw some howler monkeys, a few tiger spiders (huge!), ate some carrot flavored termites and got plenty of vitamin D from the sun. Now its time to relax, probably get a siesta in before dinner and then off to the Island of Utila!
Hope all is well, sorry for the long update but now you are informed!
