Dave, my friend, tried to explain it to me, but I still don't get it. We always opted for hitch hiking... definitely more of an adventure- we even got picked up by a semi delivering beer once- very comfy & convenient!

Being Honduran because of my parents, thats all too familiar for me and often, I just look at it and laugh when I go down there. My dad has shipped a few school buses down there for that same reason. You provided a different point of view of a region where that is something you need to see to believe, and a good one at that.

Apparently, diapers are often optional, too and baby just gets held outto drip on the floor. You can imagine what then happens when the bus goes up an incline. On a more positive note, my friend heaped praise on the first class overnight buses from Nicaragua to neighboring countries- cheap, clean and (relatively) efficient.

Insurance seems to be the lowest of concerns for those buses in their new lives. I may have missed it, but it seems the only “childhood bus reference” you missed was the permission slip.

We need to live life on the edge here a little more. Hope everything is still going well. Man, that sounds way more exciting than trips on the bus to the Science Center.
