no good waves, no patience for waiting for them
woke up this morn at 6 to go surf, and the waves were crap, so i returned my rented surfboard, packed my stuff and was gone by 9 am. i think i would have dug la libertad more if i would have had someone to hang out with, i´ve been travelling alone now for 5 or 6 days, it´s not really as fun as when you´re with other folks. i imagine i´ll get to try surfing again in nicaragua or costa rica if i make it there.
right now i´m in san miguel, on the other side of el salvador, i´ve been riding busses all day, i´ve had to change like 3 times, it wears you out. on the last bus this crazy drunk old guy wouldn´t stop bothering me, i was polite at first but had to resort to nearly yelling at him to get away, all the rest of the passengers looked on with sympathy for me, stupid drunk bastard, he was nearly impossible to understand cause he was slurring, finally he got off. oh well, shit happens.
so i´m gonna go check the bus schedule, either heading around the golfo de fonseco, a gulf that touches honduras, el salvador and nicaragua, towards the nicaraguan highlands, or gonna backtrack a little and go check out tegucigalpa and a cloud forest that´s near there. all i know is that i´m not staying here tonight, they say it gets mean after dark. it´s been interesting going through this country, i´m almost always the only traveller around, the people look at me like they´ve never seen a white boy with a huge backpack before. it´s good and it´s bad, bad cause they sometimes give the impression that they´d love to pull out a knife and take tha toversized backpack away. i´m cautious though, don´t carry my passport around ever and sorta keep my head down. i´m probably exaggerating a bit, but it does feel sketchy.
