Last stretch!

We made our way very very quickly through El Salvador and Honduras. After being chased so violently from a boarder hound that nolan thought we were being hijacked and punched it trying to make an equally as dangerous maneuver around a semi, we went to exit Guatemala and two kids in the official office tried to get us to pay them 25$ to leave. A guy next to us shook his finger at us, and said you don't pay anything here, so we bickered with them and they were taken aback. She finally gave the money back and the kid said we had to pay double entering next time.... Yeah okay kid, whatever you say.
Ended up driving at night in El Salvador which was so stupid, and finally found a cheap horrid hotel after being solicited by a hooker at the trucker stop, and being turned away at all of the semi normal hotels in San Miguel. I was at the point of tears for that one. El Salvador is horrible, unless you are surfing, but apparently even then it is dangerous. We met an Aussie that was robbed with five other guys on the beach. The famous gang there was waiting for them on the beach with some serious weapons. The whole country was filthy and chaotic. They had big malls and fast food, and the roads were bad.
Honduras was super mellow, contrary to what everyone told us. There were a lot of check points, but we had our car set up with everything we heard we needed, Caution cones, reflective tape and a fire extinguisher. The boarder to Nicaragua was mellow as well, but we didn't have money for the entrance fee, and scrounged for every last penny in the car. Unfortunately we had it detailed in Mexico and they wiped us out of loose change, but somehow we magically pulled 36$ out of no where and got in! We would have had to drive halfway into Honduras again for an ATM. At one point Nolan was trying to sell his watch to all the hustlers. We ended up not getting the insurance for Nic, because we didn't have the money, and every time we got pulled over, which was a ridiculous amount, they asked for it. We gave one guy our Mexican insurance and he didn't know the difference, and We played stupid the other times, and got away with it. they are very insistent on getting your license in had here. Nolan gave the guy a photocopy and told them his license was stolen from a Nicaraguan and they let it slide, which most definitely is why we payed nothing to any of them. We are so down with the game now. It is easy, and if you don't want to give them money, than don't. Just make up excuses why you cant and you won't.
One time we were written up for an infraction and we told the guy our car was clean of all money, so he said the other cop would follow us to the ATM. Nolan told him we don't have a card with us but we did have two rubber I Love Boobies bracelets for him! He took them and sent us on our way but first gave Nolan a genuine hand shake. Nicaragua was police check hell.
We pulled into Leon at sunset. There were people in the streets partying. On buses at the gas stations. It is for the elections that were coming up. We
Were later told that they are very important elections, and one of the guys going into office was bribing everyone and paying for the parties, but apparently he is bad news. We need to look more into it, cause if the elections go south we've been told Nicaragua is going to be a very scary place to be in. We had the feeling it was already.
On our day of exit some older crazy person threw a massive rock at our car. Missed, but I would have done some serious damage.
We got to the Costa Rican border, and it was legit, and now with absolutely no expectations we are awaiting our new life! So close it hurts!
