Sorry I didn't update yesterday... but it wasn't a veryproductive day so there wasn't a whole lot to say. Actually, thats the best kind of day there is. I went back to the town of Panajachel to start my trip South to Honduras. When I got there I found out that my bus out was held up due to some protests being held somewhere so I'd have to come back the next day. It turns out that when the teachers or anyone else go on strike in this country, they block the main highway through the country to get some attention. Makes sense to me. The mountain shown in the picture here is called Indian Nose since its supposed to look like a Mayan face. I think I can see it. I took the pic from my hotel room.
After that I tried to hit up some ATMs to get a little cash. Neither of my ATM cards were working in any of the 6 machines around town and I was getting a little worried. So, I called up the banks, got some stuff straightened out and now the theory is that it will start working in a couple days. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I've since learned from other travelers that going into the banks can land you cash when the ATMs wont work and that I could also just charge cash against my credit card inside any bank. They make it so easy for me.
After that I went back to San Pedro to spend the night and meet up with the guys again. I found them pretty easily and we proceded to bar hop until later in the evening when we held a lunar eclipse party with some other backpackers that I met. It was drizzling so no moon was visible unfortunately. Anyways, it was a good time. Basicaly a day party. I'm a little sad to have to leave town today but I've got a better time awaiting me in Costa Rica so I'd better just pack it on down there asap. ttyl
