the road to el salvador
got off the island yesterday, ended up taking the 15 dollar flight cause i went on 2 last fundives in the morning. we went to the north side of the island, and saw... a five foot nursery shark, swimming up this sand channel and away from us. i didn`t feel anything but excited, so cool, so fast in the water it swam. our next dive, my last one for maybe a while, was good as well, me and david, one of the english folks i´d been palling around with, took to doing corkscrews in teh water. on that dive we only say a sting ray, a small one, but it was fun just to find myself feeling so comfortable under the water. though i spent tons of money, the whole diving experience was definitely up there on things i´ve done this trip.
just decided to stay here in this pretty little town, santa rosa de copan, then make for el salvador tomorrow morning early. diving had me waking up at 6 am every day, i need to shake that off pretty soon. gonna stop in san salvador first i think, then, based on advice from pascual, head to la libertad to really learn to surf. excited about that, he said it was quite a good place to learn. after that off to nicaragua, having second thoughts about my plan to go all the way to panama, my cash may not hold out, alternate plans including sucking it up and buying a plane ticket, or crusing back up to northern honduras or guate to catch a boat from there.
just finished sometimes a great notion, by ken kesey, the author of one flew over the cuckoo´s nest, it was a worthy book to break my promise of not reading in english over. such a good book, since i lost my spanish dictionary i decided i´d read a little in english, gonna start ¨rabbit boss¨ which is about the washoe indians this evening. may go watch thenew james bond film, or just sit in the plaze in this town and watch the friendly townfolk walk around.
a new get your war on came out a few days ago, i was in the hanging out with the norwegians last night, they left this morn for guate, and i say statistics that said that more americans are in favor of waiting to attack iraq then there are who are gung ho to bomb some children. it´s kinda astounding that there´s a viable(?) peace movement in the u.s. again, warms the heart. if i was there i´d be getting my protest on, it´ll prolly still be going on when i get back though.
