- a roadblock in Mexico manned by young guys with homemade spike belts across the road and black hoods and ski mask like things over their heads. They were stopping other people, but just waved us around. Thank you! What was that all about? I wasn't going to stop and ask....
- at a counter in an internet cafe in Honduras, a woman with 2 kids about 10 years old. The kid on one side holding her hand and playing with her pockets, the kid on the other side spinning an automatic pistol around on the counter. Where did that come from?
- Guns, guns everywhere - AK47 and sawed off shotguns slung over peoples shoulders so casually, like they were briefcases. At least they usually don't have their fingers on the triggers....
- a huge stingray in Utila on the Bay Islands Honduras - about 4 feet across with a huge big long stinger. Thank goodness it was stirring up lots of sand and digging a big hole so we had warning it was there..
