Our last few days with Tori were spent on the Pacific coast of Guatemala. We managed to find the surf town of El Paredon by asking people at every un-signposted turn. It turned out to be an hours drive west of Puerto San Jose on bumpy, sandy roads.
The owners of the new restaurant "El Tiburon" let us camp for free on their section for a couple nights (please go see them for a pizza if you are ever in town). We ran into our friends Sammy and Jesse from Antigua, and spent an awesome couple days with them, lazing by the beach, sneaking into cool hotels, and eating and drinking. The surf was good too.
We then drove south to Montericco, where we said goodbye to Tori with some happy hour Brahva beers, tequilas and micheladas.
The next day we set off for the El Salvador border. We took a barge 30 mins up river to avoid a three hour backtrack. It was unnerving, to say the least, seeing how little freeboard the barge had when the Gladiator rolled on. Everything worked out though, and we scored what turned out to be a beautiful nature cruise through wetlands with a view of the volcanoes.
