Daily Itinerary: 11.25-27:
11.25.04 - Spent Thanksgiving Day on buses (8.5 hours). Sergio picked us
up at 6AM and drove us to San Pedro Sula, where he treated us to breakfast
before taking us to the bus station. We got a bus to Santa rosa de Copan,
where we switched to another that went to the El Salvador border. Crossed
at El Poy in mid-afternoon, and got a direct bus to San Salvador. Arrived
at 6pm, walked through shady part of town (lots of funeral homes) until we
stumbled into a row of hostels. Found a cheap one, then went out to
explore a bit and had some papusas. Returned back exhausted and ready for
bed.
11.26.04 - After a restless and noisy night of sleep, we got up and
explored the center of San Salvador. Checked bus schedules, visited
several churches (including the one where Oscar Romero is buried), and ate
papusas once again...5 each this time. Spent the afternoon catching up on
website, Internet work, and also burned backup CD's of our pictures.
Caught a bus down the Pan-Am to San Miguel, where we found a cheap hotel.
11.27.04 - Got up early and walked around San Miguel for a bit and ate
breakfast at the plaza. Then caught the first of several buses to the
Honduras border. First was to Santa Rosa de Lima, where Eric was almost
pickpocketed. Another bus to El Amatillo, where we crossed with no
problems. Got a direct bus to Tegucigalpa, where we found a hostel near
Iglesia de Dolores. Walked up to Jesus statue on the hill (El Pichacho)
via windy roads, a woman's backyard, over rocks, and climbed a fence.
Enjoyed a nice view of the city, and then got a free ride down to center
of town. Explored downtown for a while and returned back to hostel.
