Well, Honduras is in a very interesting state right now. It's quite exciting, and I'm rather enjoying seeing how it evolves from within. I kind of like being in the middle of the action (sorry Mom and Dad, I know you don't appreciate that). In any case, as I understand, the ex-President wanted to make the country communist, he's currently in Nicaragua, and the Honduran-Nicaraguan border is closed to keep one country's military from storming into the other.
I was going to travel across Honduras, but now that there's a country-wide curfew of 9:00 pm and a bunch of roads have been blocked, that seems like more trouble than it's worth. So I'm thinking of darting up to Guatemala ASAP (tomorrow), and spending at least the next month out of Honduras. However, is it possible for me to cross that border or not? I can find no information about it online, and everyone seems to have a different opinion. I already purchased my boat ticket to leave Utila tomorrow morning, but I have no idea if I'm going to be able to go anywhere once I leave. Of course, it's also not possible to do much of anything on the island with the curfew. So... wish me luck in going to Guatemala tomorrow?
No other news here (I think that's about enough!). The mosquitoes have returned, so I'm ridiculously chewed up. I had forgotten how much more annoying they are than sand flies. Going to the Iguana Station and looking at the swamp lizards also didn't exactly help. Well, off I go to investigate the border situation. Aaaahhhh!
