Breathing Life Into La Madre

Location: La Esperanza, Honduras (with occassional trips to Siguatepeque and beyond) Vehicle Status: Through the malicious actions of the harpes of fate, La Puta Madre has been struck down by a cracked cylinder head (a.k.a. our car is broken). May fortune shine upon us in our quest to nurse our wounded car back to health (a.k.a use more duct tape). Passenger Status: All are in high spirits despite the minor setback. We spend our days fixing up La Puta Madre, watching Sex in the City, and sustaining ourselves with a healthy diet of refried beans, tortillas, and tomato paste. Colin just had his first solid poo in days but is struggling to fight off gripe. Kiki´s Status: We have discovered that our plastic hula girl has features reminiscent of a Hawaiin hermaphrodite. Corrective surgery with soldering gun is planned for the near future. Notes: La Esperanza is beautiful this time of year.
