Here is our rough draft schedule of the next 10 months, meant to entice you into keeping track of us and possibly buying a spontaneous plane ticket to adventure with us:
March: El Salvador, Guatemala (southwest)
April: Mexico (primarily southern, week in Cancun), "Q-ba"
May: Belize, Guatemala (northeast), Honduras
June: Honduras, Nicaragua (Granada, Carribean Corn Islands with Megan and Brock)
July: Nicaragua with family
August: Nicaragua (southern), Costa Rica
September: Costa Rica, Panama
October: Costa Rica, Panama
November: Nicaragua with family
December: possible return to real world
We are hopeful that with all this travel comes bellies full of unique food, fluency en español, encounters with a new culture and people, and breathtaking views of mountains and oceans. Our ability to get to those mountains may be limited initially, though... We are sitting on the porch right now, soaking Micah's foot in a garbage can of luke warm water. Unsure of when we will see the ocean again, we decided to jump in the deep blue one last time. After 10 minutes of floating in the serene natural pool, Micah yelped and grabbed his ankle. We're pretty sure he was bitten by a man-eating shark, and he's lucky to be alive. That, or he stepped on a sedentary sea urchin or stingray and is paying the price. Avert your eyes from the next picture if you don't like blood.
**after note: once our exotic creature experts, Angie and Osman, arrived home and inspected Micah's wound, they stated it is definitely the markings of a stingray. So as Micah was hobbling home and said his hip was starting to ache and feel tight, that was the poison traveling up towards his organs.**
Oh well, guess Central America still feels it needs to toughen us up a bit.
Will write soon from El Salvador!
Buen camino.
