Traveling buddies.

Desiree sleeping. A theme for this trip.

San Salvador, El Salvador.

This sign must be here for a reason.

This was the nice room compared to everyone else. Still crappy.

The view of the city with all its crime.

First meal in Costa Rica, eating at some joint right off the street.

Starving for non airline food.

Look at the Asian tourists.

Excited about food.

Having beers, talking about what awaits us on the trip.

Burrito. This isn't Mexico!

I don't know what kind of food is on this plate.

Muchas cervezas deliciosas. Imperal. Pilsen, Bavaria.

So happy. Hope it lasts the whole trip.

So few chips. We asked for more but they called it a small problem.

We found a place to sell our wares!

Iglesia. Not Julio or Enrique.

Back of the bus crew!

Excited to go rafting.

Praying or sleeping?

Young kids tired from too much partying.

They do nights, but we do mornings.

If you fall asleep, this is what happens.

Having fun at the expense of the weary.

Desiree sleeps...again.

Can't wait to get on the river.

I needed more guys in the raft to paddle.

Rafting is so exhilarating.

Watch the next ten photos in order for slow motion.

Michelle and creepy old guy looking at her.

Me and same creepy white guy looking at me.

Day looks sunny, but it's cloudy and raining.

Cerveza Imperial.

I'm the third wheel.

This is what a spa is about.

It's a forest crab!

Tell me how you really feel about hiking.

Look what came crawling out of the forest.

Warming up. Basking in the sun.
