I had planned to go to Honduras today. However, much of the country is under red or yellow alert because of tropical rains (possible hurrican coming), mud slides (blocking roads) and flooding. Apparently 17,000 people have been evacuated (news article). So, I'm going to have to skip Honduras for now. :(
There has been a lot of rain in Guatemala as well. Yesterday on the way back to Antigua from Lake Atitlan we had a lot of rain and a portion of the mountain had come down on the road. I'll try to load the pictures later. But because of all the rain and sketchy road situations, I've decided not to bus it to Costa Rica as I originally planned. Tomorrow morning I fly from Guatemala City to San Jose, Costa Rica. My Canadian friend Tara is studying Spanish in Jaco. So I'm planning to go straight to Jaco, settle in for a day or two and then head down to Manuel Antonio National Park. Tara is letting me keep the majority of my stuff in her room, so I'll only need to take my small backpack which will be a welcome retreat! Although I have lightened my load a bit, some intentionally, some by accident.
I'm bummed about missing Honduras. But I plan to use this time to tour Costa Rica before I fly to Buenos Aires on December 9th. When I was in CR earlier this year I stayed in a small beach town the whole time. So I plan to see the the rest of the country as I'm not sure if I'll be getting back there after South America next spring. Hasta luego.

A slight change of plans and Costa Rica is a beautiful country to exploe. I am happy you are headed that direction to meet up with Tara. I miss you Cori. Enjoy your time in CR!
OK, I wrote my first comment before I looked at all of your pics. As dad would say, your phots are totally awesome! So many wonderful experiences tucked close to your heart to get you through the rest of your life. :-)
Hi Cor,
Sorry that this is the first posting from me... The boys and I look at your blog constantly as they are always wondering where you are. We are so busy right now, 3-6 football games a week and at least two volleyball games for me. I look forward to a little reprieve in November before basketball starts! Love you and look forward to your phone calls! Love, Stacy
