Sup beatches?
I am finally back in semi-civilization. Spent a week in San Pedro and the rest on the Moskito Coast, Bruce Laguna. The Zelaya crowd trashed San Pedro, there is political banter spray painted all over the downtown commercial area. The Centro was by far the most beautiful place in the city with its huge cathedral, looks like shit now. It is covered with MS18 and "Michaletti Culero" "Golpistas puta madre" "Viva Mel" and plenty of other shananagans. A real shame. My girlfriends cousin let me crash at his house and he said several times how ashamed he is of the way many acted, he was truly embarrassed. The only things to be proud of in the city were pissed all over. Apparently I was wrong, not everybody was glad Mel is gone, the animals missed him dearly. Actually missed him enough to ruin thier own city. The fireworks are over. Honduras is going to the World Cup. Things seem better.
Things have calmed and everyone is looking forward to the upcoming elections (except Mel). The islands were untouched throughout the whole ordeal, did not miss a single cruise ship. The Moskito coast is so off in the bush, the Wiacas there really don't gave a shit about politics and what goes on in the city. They barely understand Spanish.
Back to normal...as normal as it gets anyway.
