Central America

We had spent almost a week and both of us, while not sick of
Central America or homesick for America, were feeling like we had accomplished what we wanted to accomplish. We wanted to leave Utila on New Year's Day but no transporation was open.

We played pool in one of the ubiquitus Honduran poolhalls. the price was something like $0.25 per game. I beat CR 3 games to 2. We played 8 ball but the ball were in bad shape , had lost all their spring, and it was hard to break. We hiked to the airport about 5km north on our way to Pumpkin Beach, which is a fossilized coral beach. It was awesome - just mounds and mounds of fossilized coral. And quite a bit of trash - Captain Hal had said that hurricane's Katrina and Wilma had kicked up a lot of trash.

That night, we ate at Jade Seahorse, had another drink at Tranqillo Bar and Treetop Bar, and went to sleep early. We ran into LRA but weren't in the mood to socialize with her big european set. The only ferry the next day would leave at 6:20am.
