Rematch?

I have a few options for this weekend. One of them is a rematch with a Central American volcano. In Nicaragua, I climbed a volcano ... barely. I'm sure Taylor or Luke would be more than happy to tell you about this as I'm sure it was very entertaining for them.

Now, Stefan the Austrian wants me to climb Tajumulco ... The top of this volcano is the highest point in Central America ... The good news is you don't climb the entire way ... only like 1,220 meters - roughly 4000 feet. I've been climbing cerro de la cruz everyday, but I'm not sure that it's prepared me to climb almost a mile straight up. If I end up going, I guess I'll find out!

Check out this ladder that's been outside the school all day! Click on it to zoom in - you're gonna wanna see this. Not quite up to OSHA standards, huh? So the guy who set up this ladder thinks - "my ladder's not long enough so I'll have to put it on a table ... But this table is kinda wobbly - better half-heartedly wrap some thin rope around the base of my ladder and that lamppost. Ah - but I might scratch the table! Better put something slippery like newspapers under the ladder ... There - that should do it!" Haha! This is a disaster waiting to happen! I really hope this guy doesn't get hurt ...

Yesterday I had a McFlurry Naranja! It's a McFlurry with orange syrup and Hershey's chocolate chips! Very tasty. As I recall, the McDonalds I visited in Hong Kong had good desserts too - wonder why they never release them in the States?

So I probably shouldn't have taken this picture, but I did it anyway. I did it very, very discreetly. I believe this is a funeral procession. It's a bit difficult to see unless you zoom in, but there's a coffin being carried at the head of this crowd. This is actually really similar to the religious celebrations I witnessed in el parque central and in front of the private school. The only differences are that there's no band, and the coffin is normal sized.

Another thing I've seen that I shouldn't take a picture of, is kids making out in the streets! It's crazy! Every day I see kids making out all over the place. Now that I think about it, maybe I will take a picture - if you're making out in the street, you obviously don't care if anyone sees :)

Finally, to top it off, here's another Beetle for Peanut's Gallery of Punch Buggies. I'm bringing my a-game kid!
