So I arrived in Copan on the border yesterday pm, there are Mayan ruins there and the village is real neat, so I decided to stay the night and do the border in the morning. I found a place to stay and then I heard this hey, nice bike, where you from? so I met Charles from Detroit on a KLR 650, he had been layed off in the states, so he rode his bike down to panama and married a couple, as he is a part time preacher, had a blast and on his way home. We went out and had beer, lots of it, met an english girl and a swedish girl who work there, yea big night, had a big babalas today. Got to the border to find a long line of trucks, thinking not again, the computer was down, so I spent the whole morning waiting in 40 degree heat, yea I felt it! So I got talking to the truckers, nice guys, we were all in the same boat, we ate fish and rice and salad, I felt a bit better. The computer came back at one, so I got going and to Coban, also has great Mayan ruins, and when I pulled into the place I am staying I saw Charles’s bike there so I’m nervous. Saw my first rattle snake today, road kill, but still the same, so I will have to look sharp. I will head on to Atitlan tomorrow, the lake with the 3 volcanoes and stay there tomorrow night. Head to M exico the day after and take it from there. It is Jacks birthday today, so Happy Birthday Jack hope you have a huge party and lots of fun and many pressies. I will bring something back for you! More later Adios.
