zacapa is the anti tourist town, they say you are either a cop or a robber if you are born here it seems like everyone had a dirty secret. the only way to tell the high school students and the prostitutes apart were their uniforms. it turns out that our hotel was a whorehouse but we were too tired to hear all the racket through the night. in the morning i forgot to give the madame the key back. we will have to mail it to her. antigua is touristificated. johnny and i went up to volcan pacaya our tour group was all stoner israelis and europeans. while we waited for the bus to get fixed i talked to the first monoglot swiss i have met, a girl from the italian part, there with her boyfriend. we worked with spanish and broken into it were chunks of french, english, and italian. tran and duylinh befriended some boys from the antigua high school while we were gone, and a mayan vendor told tran to buy something in japanese. this is the tourist hub of central america, it seems. we will take the shuttle to monterrico that we paid for in dollars tomorrow to the beach house. disgusting.
