Imperial
time? This Imperial's for you? It's cold and it costs
50¢. Most construction workers appear unable to lift a cold one after a long, hot
day (perhaps that video camera isn't as heavy as it seems). No doubt their strength
will return presently.
Port
Royal taste good, too!
Almost as
popular as cold refreshments is the warm water of the Gulf of Fonseca. We'll still
have to shower out of a bag back in camp, but at least this immersion helps wash off
accumulated sun screen and dust. Warm water awaits salt-encrusted bathers back in
camp. The "shower" facilities at this resort do leave something to be
desired. Through the haze, the Consigüina Volcano (in Nicaragua) is almost visible.
A rising
tide washes away boats left too near the water. Birds overhead wait for fishermen to
toss more fish parts into the surf.
High tide
brings water under the restaurant! I wonder why none of the
restaurants on the banks of the Maumee River have not thought of this sort of attraction.

sunset. Fish hang out to dry above a fishing boat. We saw fishermen
unloading (among other things) shrimp and sharks (hammerheads - small ones) caught in the
Gulf of Fonseca. Twilight is short, it will be dark by the time the bus arrives back
in camp.
