Half Of The Americas To Go




Crossed through Honduras yesterday, it took 8 hours.
From Antigua, Guatemala I headed south to the coast. The road lowered in elevation from 7,000 feet to sea level and the heat went up 30 degrees. The road from sea level continued at sea level for around 400 kilometers and then climbed into the mountains of southern El Salvador around San Miguel. Santa Rosa Del Lima was the Salvador,Honduras boarder crossing and from there the road continued through Honduras for the next 100 kilometers. I stopped in Choluteca for my second lunch destroying a pound of rice in a couple minutes. It rained for the better half of the day through honduras and the wash from the streats where a steady current of silty water. Everytime I see people emptying their sewage into the streats I think of all the times puddles splashed my face from a passing truck.
My hour on the net has ran out so I must write later...
Quinn-

    Quinn,
    Back from all our travels, but ours was done in the luxury of a car and hotels...and we are still tired! One can only imagine what you are experiencing and living.
    We have not only followed your travels while we were gone, but passed on to many; some we knew, many we did not, and gave your sight to them.
    As promised, the first two installmaents are being made to MD.
    Keep it up...we are proud of you, and love you. Please keep safe.
    Love,
    Your godparents

    Thanks for the timely update Quinn. Reading your sewage/splashintheface tale reminded me of getting drenched on the Alaska Highway when we met a big RV on our motorcycle. And to think that I had the audacity to be pissed.! At least I wasn't pissed on ! I now have fresh material to use for The Quinn Minute on my show. For those of you who are not in the meager 6,000 watt broadcast shadow of WUSP ........ Go to our web site
