This is Nels’ first attempt at summing up the week.

Book of the Week:\u00c2\u00a0 \u00e2\u20ac\u0153<\/strong>On The Road\u00e2\u20ac\u009d-Jack Kerouac<\/p>\n

On the Road (Penguin Classics)<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

Quote of the Week<\/strong>: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We better stock up on Doritos because you know you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to take your chances with the roll the dice chips at the border.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d-Steve Bouey explaining to us the quality and selection of local chips.<\/p>\n

On Monday we said farewell to the gracious owner, Juan and staff at Rancho Margot<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Their combination of beautiful scenery, excellent food\/service and sustainable projects makes it a must visit in central Costa Rica.\u00c2\u00a0 Next came the relatively simple Nicaraguan border crossing, where we put Steel on a bus to catch a flight to Phoenix to work at the NBA-All Star Game. Our first stop in Nicaragua was the beautiful house named Villa Noche<\/a>, in San Juan del Sur in Nicaragua.\u00c2\u00a0 It is the vacation rental house of the owner of Aquaholic<\/a>, the deep sea fishing company that would be taking us fishing on Wednesday, who we later found out is ex-NBA player Travis Knight. This proved to be the most relaxing couple of days we had in weeks in quite possibly the nicest house any of us have ever laid foot in.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0107\"The crew awoke Wednesday with deep sea fishing on our minds.\u00c2\u00a0 We took to the sea, but it wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t fishing season, and that became quickly apparent.\u00c2\u00a0 Our boat trolled the coast for 5 hours, and luck wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t on our side.\u00c2\u00a0 The experience was not a failure, however, for our captain and assistant were great, and you can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t beat a stroll on the sea with the sun on your face and wind at your back.\u00c2\u00a0 After fishing we got in the trucks and made our way north to Lake Xiloe for the night.\u00c2\u00a0 A random local guy we talked to on the street led us to his friend’s restaurant\/bar who let us camp on has lakeside property for the night.\u00c2\u00a0 We set up our big tent right on the dance floor. It seemed like the right place to rest our heads.<\/p>\n

On Thursday we drove all day and finished in El Cuco, El Salvador.\u00c2\u00a0 That means two border crossings.\u00c2\u00a0 The first was in Honduras.\u00c2\u00a0 It was here that Steve S. found out that his afternoon would consist of photocopying every piece of paper he could find.\u00c2\u00a0 One to go here, one to go there, and one to probably start a fire later that night. The efficiency at the border was remarkable. Steve was also notified that our short drive through Honduras to get to El Salvador cost $40 per vehicle, and there was no room for discussion. \"104\"Upon entering Honduras we found out that the $20 per vehicle portion was \u00e2\u20ac\u0153permission\u00e2\u20ac\u009d to drive in Honduras on their terrible roads covered with potholes, but even with our $20 permission were very pleased to be stopped every 10 minutes for attempted hustles by the Honduras police. We arrived at the El Salvador border with hopes of a quick enter, but again, photocopying is a high priority, so Mr. Shoppman had two nice quarter- mile walks to the copy machine so we could leave.\u00c2\u00a0 We arrived late in El Cuco, ate at an elderly lady\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s restaurant.\u00c2\u00a0 Steve S. asked her about a place to camp and knew she was in charge when she ordered the two policemen eating in her cafe escort us to a beach spot where we camped for the night.<\/p>\n

Luckily the Friday morning tide didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t wash our campsites away on the beach, so we headed to the exact opposite end of the spectrum.\u00c2\u00a0 That day we awoke going to the bathroom in the woods, and ended up at a five-star resort that night.\u00c2\u00a0 Four hours of driving put us at our destination of the Decameron All Inclusive Resort<\/a> on the Pacific Coast in El Salvador.\u00c2\u00a0 The list of activities ranges from scuba diving in a volcano crater to Mayan Ruins trips.\u00c2\u00a0 Pools, hot tubs, restaurants, bars, a gym and spas scatter the property.\u00c2\u00a0 We settled in, went for a swim, and then had a World By Road family dinner at the Bambu Restaurant that specializes in Thai food.\u00c2\u00a0 A few beverages followed, along with some dancing with a bunch of middle-aged\/later-aged tourists.\u00c2\u00a0 We pushed on until midnight to celebrate Craig\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s birthday, but soon after took advantage of the comfy beds waiting for us that night.<\/p>\n
