Everyone gets so worked up over hurricanes. But I don't see what all the fuss is about. A little rain, slightly stronger winds, and grey skies for a few days. Nothing! I can handle whatever nature throws at me. But I was wondering, MR. Beard, if you have a solution for removing duct tape from skin without chaffing?

Sin Sarcasmo.... The hurricane lost all it's force and was downgraded to a tropical storm. But El Salvador still recieved quite a beating. We're safe, but El Sal could use some prayers.

On a slightly different note, I am now offically a Guatemalan Tourist. I had my wallet (and mini-notebook/journal) stolen off my person in town called San Francisco en Alto (Damn Hippies!). Luckily I had just bought a nice rug and only had about $3 left. But they did nab my credit cards. I'm not really worried about the money or even the credit cards, as I cancelled them promptly. But what bothers me is that I had to waste a half a day calling companies, exchanging travelers cheques...

I don't really feel violated; just stupid. I thought my wallet was safe. But San Fran was a crazy place. A huge swap meet with 1000´s of people pushing you every which way. I think what happened was after I paid for the rug someone saw where my "safe" spot was. Oh well. I still have my health and my passport. And a nice rug.
