Nicaragua is very nice; Honduras.....not so much

We made it through El Salvador with no trouble, and Honduras with no belongings or money. I´m sure there is a lot of detail on the guys blog so I won´t repeat it. We made in into Nicaragua and soon after had no van. A nice guy in a pickup (delivering dough across the countryside) picked us up and drove us quite a ways into Leon. Dean sat in the cab and the driver told him it was important that he put his seatbelt on. Judging by the way everyone drives here he is correct. However there was no seatbelt for the three of us in the bed...or for any of the dough either. The girl that sleeps in the bunk beneath me in my room is from Ashland, OR. She was pretty happy to find a fellow Oregonion. We did was has appeared to become a pattern when we stop at a new city. We drank. It was as always a wild night of running around town with a mix of locals and tourists. We met some Israeli girls, A german girl, etc. etc. Ryan and I went up to a policeman at one point looking for food and asked if we could borrow his bike. He took all his possessions off it and gave it to us, we rode around semiaimlessly, then found our way back and returned it to him with. We never found food. The next morning I had a fruit smoothie at the hostel across the street and was sick about 30 minutes later. I spent all day in the bathroom and went to bed early. I woke up this morning at 4 to hear the rest of the guys come stumbling home. They are still asleep. Hope everyone at home is still doing good. I have to go for now, must try to wake up hung over amigos in time for check out.
