Nachos and Iced Tea, Honduran StyleJust a small update from Liberia, Cost a Rica. After we left San Marcos de Ocotopeque, we headed toward Danli, near the border to Nicaragua. While we dined in the hotel Granada, where we were staying, we met Tim from the UK. Most travelers on the PanAm route must come through here, so it becomes somewhat of a funnel. We agreed to move on as a group of four.
We crossed into Nicaragua the next morning , it went fairly smooth and we headed for the town of Granada. After a little encounter with the National Police and a local bullfighter wannabe (see Sean’s Blog, it makes me look good ) we settled on a swank hotel downtown.
Today, Oct 19, we headed for the Costa Rican border in the rain. Along the way we picked up another rider from the UK, Reg, who is on a little faster pace than us, but crossed the border with us. The Nicaraguan and Costa Rican officials and the “tramitadores” or helpers tried to totally ruin our day, but we wouldn’t let them. After 3 ½ hours we finished our processing and headed on to Liberia in the pouring rain. We are staying in the Hotel Boyeros and ordered in Papa Johns pizza and cold beer while we listen to the heavy rain continue. Aaaahhh, life is good.

Hello again from Corpus Christi. What a trip! After I read Sean's blog, I knew that after a few repetitions of the story you will not only look "good," Lou; you will look like a super-hero! Remember to keep that one about "El Senor returning" up your sleeve for a really dire emergency.
Glad to hear you guys made it past the federales OK. Funny thing, at the party before you left, I told Lou, "God be with you guys." I guess I used his line too, but it sounds like he IS with you.
When you get back, I think we will have another party, but this time we will just order in Papa Johns Pizza.
Stay safe!
