Made it to the lake!

Ok, so right now i´m sitting in a cafe on a lake that is really really pretty. the weather has turned bad and i just woke up from a 2 hour nap. somehow, my alarm clock fast forwarded this morning and i actually woke up a couple of minutes after 7. the shuttle came about 710...i was literally running after it. then, as i am putting my things inside he tells me (in spanish) that there was a landslide last night and the road is blocked...but we might be able to get through. i thought for a second (and i felt much better) and decided to take the risk. it worked out fine, until we got to a dropoff point about halfway where they leave you to get on another shuttle. In other circumstances (those being the ones where I wouldn´t have chucked out $15 for a ride) the shuttle would not have waited there with me. But this one did because it was private. We waited for an hour and half because the other shuttle got caught in another landslide (or at least the traffic from another landslide). Finally, I was on the shuttle heading to the lake and what do i realize i left behind on the other shuttle....my water bottle...i was pissed! think i´m gonna head to monterrico, guatemala in the morning. it´s a nice little town on the coast right before El Salvador. it will be a good place to stay. i´ll try and keep little updates like theses going....especially now that i´m back to really being on my own. not a whole lot else to do, but write and read. i´m actually really enjoying it! oh and i feel much better today! The cold is subsiding!
