For the trip, I am averaging just over 16mpg.
The low highway speeds are really helping.
Oh, and we are on our way to the first micro brewery in Honduras!

We are in Leon, Nicaragua. Life is good.
We drove the worst road I have seen in my travels today. You could only laugh at the endless sea of potholes.
More soon.

Track Log EOTE Expedition
Just thought people might like a little perspective regarding our distance and route. The attachment shows in BLACK our GPS track log since we left Guatemala the first time (before joining the EOTE caravan); in RED is the EOTE group traveling in So Mex; we linked up essentially at the Mexico-Belize border, and everything from then on (also in BLACK) is the group route. We are in Leon, Nicaragua tonight.

Nicaragua is a cool country, and we are enjoying a few days in Leon. We are staying at a hotel called La Perla, a few blocks from the square. It is owned by an ExPat, and is a thoroughly enjoyable place to stay, and surprisingly reasonable given the quality.
The main square is only a few blocks away, and the city has a great feel, due to the university here and growing economy.
Tomorrow, we leave towards Granada and a night camped on a volcano!
I also did a blog update for Honduras and Copan.
The stella there are beyond description

Love the Photos
Never spent much time in that part of the world - I'm jealous.
But, as a connoisseur of bad roads, I'm you have piqued my curiosity – you must post photos; it is a point of honor! (And bragging rights.)

Native Language?
At the risk of being a bit pedantic, Spanish is not the "native" language, it is the language of education. Many Central (and South) Americans are Amerindians or of Amerindian descent and may speak any number of Indian languages or dialects as their first language. Most will learn Spanish in school and all official business will be conducted in Spanish. Depending on where you are, however, you may not hear much Spanish in the market.
