With the passing of the days we were recovering Jocotenango energies. We passed a few days in which the relationship between us was very good. This was coupled with ours, lately criticized economy. He thought he had gone to Mexico was very comforting, but look at what we had of course appeared as a infinito.Una again clarify the points with Raul and emerged like a phoenix from the ashes.
This is an ongoing lesson for us, sequence by sequence, and drawing this conclusion, we are left only with the positive. We turned to stop and pull even but it was not easy. Selling empanadas
not work, this was a first trip. I think they were but the desire to fill the tummy to undertake a business in the gastronomic field. We knew that if what they sold was food, he would never miss something pa 'cooks.
As we tested and what I can say is that ... were riquiiiiiiiiisimas! But it worked because we sought to trade a popular food of Argentina in a country where meat is expensive for what little there.
In Guatemala the typical food of the people are "chuchitos" and these are like a tamale, made with corn flour with a little heart meat, whether pork, beef or chicken when it comes with a regular piece of bone and one is left with the desire to change the treat. It also comes with a little tomato sauce and covered with corn leaves.
pie costs were very high and then sell on the street, but we like to sell that we ate.
Looking back on our economy and listening to sayings of Boris returned to use that last shoe was already using for some time. We went back to selling T-shirts, but when he fell poly heat engines to allow us to sell the shirts in the public highway.
La Antigua is lovely as always and friends are becoming more, but the growing immigration of gringos brought increased security to calm alleged paranoia typical of someone who has a tail of straw. So the police, now piles, toured the city with weapons intimidating, traffickers take advantage of the tourism business. But aid
not long in coming. In the meantime coordinating with Boris and his family to eat where they eat three times five and six in the presence of Marioni.
Paul received the mail, a travel enthusiast who had contacted us on our trip to Tijuana buy a shirt and share a meal with him.
between health and news, Paul wanted to return to buy a shirt, but this time back.
When he came to visit us imprinting proposed a new folder, this time a summary of our blog, with photos and stories more symbolic of the journey.
So he resumed the sale of shirts in the restaurants with our new folder, a more humble, simpler and more sincere. Now get help would be more difficult as the challenge now was that people should believe more in our word. Since we did not have the recognition of the international press, now more than ever to put the "caripela" and called for help for a long trip to Costa Rica without scales.
* Pablo Emilio and their parents. We
fatter, currency to currency, our pockets. While we take a "throw the Sears" with the boys and also retrieve the football that we had lost in the land of baseball and American football.
also took the opportunity to lend a hand to the "Boro" roofing Becher's room already served one year and will soon need some privacy.
Other restaurants and bars that do not know how much I appreciate the opportunity to listen and not fall into the false logic of appearance used in places where they do not allow street vendors provided keep the image, we fell for "Ni Fu Ni Fa" to greet Diego and buy grass at cost. Two of three surprised us with sweet bread and choripanes.
* Ni Fu Ni Fa La Antigua.
These payments were outstanding bills and to travel around a bit but his nature, so with Boris unemployed due to his resignation from the great investors holding foreigners, were everywhere.
The last Sunday we all got together and went to meet the renowned volcano "Pacaya. This is located behind high Volcan de Agua decorating the city. You can reach the very lava, but his ascent is not easy because you have to climb over the overlying volcanic sand and above the heat from dry lava flows is such that warms the soles of shoes that point of forcing a decline in short.
* Boca blood-
* The Marioni turned on which good mate of Entre Rios.
* Marioni, Marimba, "the Yeca" Becher and Boro (bosteros at heart) and "dream."
With a handful of laughs in the pocket, mate and snack, we went to the Pacaya to have a field day with this great friend who will come back to safe but who knows when.
They reaffirmed the theory that "rich is not the one else has but the least needs to be happy."
Mario held his coat and we bank as you would a friend of a lifetime. Communication always helped us out, just for the flavor a purity that has the help. Without expecting anything more than friendship spent a month helping us to take off.
The difference with the treatment received in part of Mexico was noted as early strike up conversations with the staff of the Guatemalan border. The general
chapines focus their gaze on the inside of people, trying to make a positive social experience is a different play for their roll. Are far from making a quick Scanning to see where they can benefit, no need to lie to feel superior because they feel inferior. So purest form friendships that make us love Guatemala. This balance
on Guatemala's moralistic content may not understand our experience in Mexico. Our freedom and our rights are not purchased and are not for sale, that I intend to summarize when I write "Until victory always", which is not an empty phrase fashion product.
* Climbing the Pacaya Volcano.
* The overflowing rivers of lava down the slopes of the volcano in full activity.
* While we were feeling heat through our shoes, the Marimba stuck to our feet and accompanied us to the lava availing of courage and loyalty.
With everything ready to face a rather exhausting day on the road, we went to say goodbye to another great friend that following the position of the people "chapin" Rodri and hosted the Cup for more than a month when we broke that time in Antigua. We spent at the Bob and Eve, and the sonrrisa drawn by the reunion and the "bye", face the road to El Salvador. This would be the first country to be number 16 passed through the "Flurry" and 14 ° for Bandera.
The trip was very special as we celebrate our 2nd. Anniversary on the road, as we like and look through all of Central America in our beloved setting Colombia.
The stay in this country was more than short, because the more days spent on the road, the greater the expense. The idea was to go to Vicky Simpson in Costa Rica as soon as possible. Cross El Salvador in about four hours, night and under a terrible flood. We slept on the border with Honduras and the next day after many formalities to enter Honduras, crossed the country and all over Nicaragua to reach 9 and 45 pm to the border with Costa Rica.
As the border crossing closed before the stipulated time we set ranch and early the next day we face the last stretch towards the south in Central America, of our old Ford.
after midday we arrived at Vicky's house in San Antonio Escazu in San Jose de Costa Rica. There she was, at the bottom of the barrel, ready to help and treat us like their own children.
She is a lady of the United States home "very far from being an average, is full of love and understanding to the point that has the photo of each one of us (the four Gurises) hanging next to their children.
Meanwhile, Marimba puppies waiting for their advantage to play with Archie and practice command and control techniques with well laid ovaries.
* Tafi, the old lady of the house looks askance at this "chirusa" Mexican in a few minutes and had more confidence that their fellow travelers.
Now the plans are put up here in Costa Rica until we cross the Falcon from Puerto Limon to Cartagena de Indias (Colombia), whether through a soul bondadoza or hundreds.
follow up, follow up, so back to the win, ALWAYS!
