and now...

After leaving Roatan, and having a quite pleasant ride back to the mainland, we took a bus to San Pedro Sula, where we spent a last night with Erin's parents before hopping on a bus to Tegusigalpa, with the hopes of getting a bus to Nicuragua the following morning.

We arrived in Tegus and got a cab to a friends house, who showed us a great night in Tegus.  Apparently Tegus is one of the most dangerous cities in the world, but I think it gets a bad reputation.  Our host, Meli, took us to a fantastic part of time, where we ate great food, listened to a live local band, and played "spot the hipster"...it was a lot like being in Portland.

On Friday morning we took a cab to the bus depot, to find that the bus to Nicaragua was sold out.  We did, however, get a ticket bought for Saturday morning, and spent the rest of the day holed up in a very secure hotel room, and caught a bus to Nicaragua on Saturday morning.

Saturday morning we caught the bus to Managua, Nicaragua.  However, after going through customs, we found that each of us only has only a couple of days left on our visas in this region of Central America...adding a day to our trip here..luckily, Managua is a pretty great city, so it's not a horrible place to hang out.

so, we will be visiting the immigration office early tomorrow morning in the hopes of extending our visas...wish us luck!

Plus, we found a great B&B, where I might also get a lift and a tuck as well, as it seems to be attached to a plastic surgery recovery resort...i'm gonna be a new woman when I return home!
