Dash for Mexico

While on our way to El Salvador we experienced some weird behavior in Honduras.  The migration official wanted proof that we were married and that we had enough money.  That wasn't to bad but it became strange after we got on a long distance bus and were on our way.  The police boarded the bus and were selective on asking for passport check.  They skipped over the white Europeans in front of us and asked for our passports.  Then when they saw Veronica was Colombian they wanted additional identification.  They suspect every Colombian of being a drug smuggler.  I laughed to myself because Honduras has far more problems than Colombia.  They should be happy that we're bringing tourist dollars to them.

At the Salvadorian border we were told that Veronica only had 10 more days to pass through Salvador and Guatemala.  That really removed a lot of places we were hoping to visit.  The dash was now on for the Mexican border. haha!

Termales in Santa Teresa (We enjoyed half a day bathing in several pools.)


Los Chorros in Juayua, El Salvador


Guatemala
Antigua Guatemala


Lago Atitlan (A volcanic lake with little town along its shores.)



Bunny made a friend that was smaller than her ;)

After our 9th day we made a long day travel for the Mexican border in the chicken buses.
