Taking the advice of maybe my favorite aunt on the Roach side

Hello all I figured I'd make my entrance casually late and hope you'd all be presently suprised by a few choice words that I had to say about my travels that have continued since Im not sure when. Im not sure about my speech patterns, spelling, or strong language that might offend the ladies, but bear with me. Im running on minimum sleep and maximum sightseeing to pack a year into 2 months.
I started from Puebla, Mex two weeks before June 5th, so End-ish of May to continue my travels south. With my class from Seattle U we went to Chiapas, Mex to stay in San Cristobal de las Casas where the local dress is incredible and it doesn't matter if your spanish is any good because they all speak a dialect of Mayan, I believe, I dunno, I couldn't ask them what they were speaking and I wouldn't have understood their answer. Continuing on we went to Palenque where I met up with my roommate from SU and he and I and the class went to Palenque to see the Pyramids and to get real sick. Well, me anyway, I dont know how to explain it, so for pure pictographic splendor Ill just say the poo wasnt as solid as I might have liked it to be. So I didnt enjoy the next stop, Merida too much or the overnight bus rides that lasted forever.
Chitzen Itza was amazing though, but stupid tourists seemed to be throwing themselves off of (in the case of Palenque) or falling off of (in the case of Chitzen Itza) every tall pyramid so they were all closed to the public. The next stop was Playa del Mar which is just south of Cancun to take it all in, considered to be SU's "finals week" I found myself visiting Tulum, another ancient site, but this one nestled right on the Carribbean in the most beautiful setting ever. And sitting on the beach, or swimming, or not drinking (since I was taking a hefty dose of poo solidifier, or as uncle mike would say, antibiotics).
Once I could finally get away from my class I jumped the first bus to the border and stayed my first night in Corozal, Belize with some canadian that had a house there and an apartment. I took him up on his offer of staying in the Apt. for the night and went to Ambergris Caye via Water Taxi the next day, stayed there for a few days then headed to San Ignacio, on the west border of Belize via "chicken bus" for a grand total of $6.50 american. Met up with a bunch of Brits even though I gave them hell for 3 days straight for what they did to the irish until I found one that was from north ireland and had a cooler accent and we both hated the british together.
I left there (Belize) on a sunday, not sure of the date and got to Tikal to see the pyramids there that you could climb to the top of since there are even less rules in Guatemala than in Mexico. If you dont remember (or dont know) what the ruins look like, supposedly watch Star Wars Return of the Jedi and It was filmed as the planet of the Ewoks. I headed then to Rio Dulce to swim in the lake and jump out of tall trees into the lake and canoe in the lake and whatever else one does with a lake. Thought about how much I'd like to have a cool uncle that had a seaplane that could take me to every lake in central america, then realized that we should rent a spruce goose and load it with roaches to have a tour of america central to have a roach reunion that could never be bested ever by any family.
So, once I lived out that fantasy I went to Antigua for a few days and met up with a bunch more brits to see a volcano that has lava flows that you could touch, if you wanted to, remember, guatemala has no laws of that sort, its a society where if you really want to do something, you do it. That is also a reason that I have tended to see a lot of pistol grip pumps in the hands of law enforcement, in front of banks, in banks, jewlery shops, in the hands of tour guides going up volcanoes, what have you. (Even riding in the Rum delivery truck today, which was my personal favorite, apparently nobody drinks for free.) From there I decided that a week for each country is BS and I need at least a year so Im thinking maybe my dad will understand if between this round of schooling and the next I might have to take a little time off, im trying to remember how much time he took? So I overstayed in Guatemala to see Lake Atitlan which is the most exotic site that I have ever seen in my life, starting with 2 dollar a night lodging and ending with stuff a little more extreme, like the local wardrobe, quantity of volcanoes, lake temp, culture, etc.
Tomorrow I leave for El Salvador to stay there for a few days, see what its all about and head off to Honduras then Nicaragua then Costa Rica then Panama. So, I don't think that I will be writing anymore in the next month but follow my lead cause I want to hear what everyone is doing also, especially will chambers who I think is dead cause I havent heard of or from him in no less than 2 years, the two pregnant roach girls, shannon?, colin who is definitley different after his boot camp, caitlin who has joined the workforce and is probably living and loving Cali which is where she belongs, and Joe and his little doggie whom I still havent seen, and patricio si el puede escribame en espanol, and whomever else. Ill be back for Boat Races and might chat with you all when Im not at the office making enough money to pay for my next adventure which is already halfway planned. Eamonn Patrick Sullivan Roach
