Happy under the fullmoon

Its been about 12 days since I left Nicaragua now. Gone through 3 countries since then, and is now located on a beach in south Oaxaca, Mexico. Fouth country.

I remember leaving Nicaragua, driving through a street I had never really seen before, on the way to the bus-station of Leon. Leon, where I had spent 3 months when I "finally" got out. I was saying finally untill I saw this street and started woundering how much id actually seen in my months there. I had big plans about getting lost there someday, and then it ended up not beeing enough time...

But I did have a good three months. Finished my exams, and my oral spanish went well, even though I didnt get Rubèn Dario (bummer).
Last day I even shook hands with the cafè-people, and they wished me a good trip. Went around saying goodbye, colecting some hugs from some good people in the last party, and then spent my last night with three good friends on the beach, watching the stars with a bottle of wine, sitting by a fire we managed to make all by ourself.
I guess Leòn wasnt too bad after all.

But I started my little journey back towards Mexico. Just before we left we heard in the news, rumours of a terrible virus, spreding through Mexico and further in to other countries. So our first goal while waiting to see what was happening up north, was Guatemala.

The bus to Guatemala can be said was a chapter in itself. I once woke up in the middle of the night, driving through El Salvador, looking out seeing nothing but darkness and fog. Not sitting far behind the driver, and beeing that it was the front-window I was looking out through, I bet you can guess my heart jumped a bit, and a thought flew thorugh my mind. Something like: "HOW THE HELL DO I DEAR THIS?"
But I was tired and saw that it wasnt just the driver, but also another guy stearing out the window, looking for cars and bumps and i dont know what, so I fell asleap and woke up on the border to Guetamala, about an hour before we got to Guetamala city. From there, we went straight to Lago Atitlan, witch is a higland lake in Guatemala, about 3000 meters over sea-level.

My third time in Lago Atitlan. I remember the first time I want, having said before "im staying for five days, and then im of to Antigua", and then I stayed for three weeks almost, having a blast with some really nice people from everywhere. That is some of the magic of Lago Atitlan, that so many different people, from so many different countries gather and become one, amongs all the different maya that live there.
Otherwise, you have the three vulcanoes that surrounds the lake, along with all the mountains, and the "indian-head". If you sit in San Pedro, looking across the lake, it looks like an indian is laying on his back, sleeping, by the shape of the mountains. Esta bien loco.

We managed to get out of there this time when we planned to though. Ok, so one day behind scedule, sleeping over in Lotte´s house, witch is really her granfather from Norway´s house. So we went from San Pedro to Santa Cruz to visit my friend for a coupple of days before we headed up towards Mexico.

Spent a few days in San Christobal, witch is also a Mountain town about the same hight as Atitlan. Wandered about in the rain, went to a party with some cool people from the hostel, and (loco! the world is so small!) met a friend I thought was in Europe now, but at one thirty in the morning staggered in through the front door, dragging some huge speakers, followed by the rest of the band! They played for a coupple of good hours, and I think I managed to get home about four a clock, having danced my ass of and wiched my friend "feliz viaje" to Europe.
Hey guys, if they end up in Finland (that they might do!) we should go see them!
So, yeah, ended up beeing a good party! And we wern´t even supposed to be there, now we were getting two days behing our original plans!

Anyways, here I am finaly, back on the beaches of Oaxaca. Zipolite today, and then we´ll see about tomorrow =) Its impossible to make plans anyway, and things allways end up getting better if you ignore that you were really supposed to be somewhere else, I guess :)

Im gonna go have a swim and look at the sunset.
