| The Secret of Life |
| What To Say....Where To Start? Buenos..Buenos....Buenos Dios !!! Well, I finally left La Antigua....& Guatemala <><><O><><> It's NEXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXT !!!! I took, what I thought...But, "Deep Down"...I "Knew"...Wasn't going to be...A week, to go to Rio Dulce & Livingston (Google Them).... For some Rasta / Reggae Vibe...Black People.... Ye ! Well, Rio Dulce was ONLY...the "Source"... And, "Jumping Off"...Point, of My River / Lakes trip to.....Livingston !!! It was Fricking....."INCREDIBLE" !!! It took four hours...for a 1 1/2 - 2 Hour trip. We stopped in hidden little Lagoons.. through these hidden small holes in the Jungle. Little floating "Funky" Smugglers hide-outs... Everything is floating... or on big logs...sunken, into the lake. Then, This "Chill Captain",pulls us into a Natural Sulfur Hot Springs,...right on this Lake... 1/2 mile wide....then opening...then closing. It is a Must Do...when You Come to visit !!! Any-Way....I stayed three days in Livingston....ANH !!! Horrible Beach...Cafe' colored water...NO MUSIC...let alone Reggae. Poor....Really....Really dirty. And, most every-one seemed either drunk or on crack. So......I go to a Internet Cafe' He..Hey..Hey !!! I stubble across, what I heard about...more than Once.... The Bay Islands (Ring-a-Bell?)... In Honduras. After seeing & swimming (Wading), in Livingston. All I wanted was a White Sand Beach.....Crystal Aqua Blue Caribbean Water....Beautiful Black...Brown & (If Juicy)...White Darlings....either Top-Less Or in G-String... very small Bikini's.....With Reggae Blasting...in the streets ! And, To smell that Rasta Mood...rising up in the air.....in the "Form"....of SMOKE !!! <><><O><><> I made up my mind in less than ONE HOUR !!! <><><O><><> West End Roatan Island, Bay Islands, Honduras: Gem of the Honduras Bay Islands........ Here's where it gets....Incredibly Un-Be-Live-ABLE !!! You know, I think... I DON'T HAVE A PASSPORT !!! I HAVE NO (Stinking) PAPERS. !!! . All....I...Have...Is....A .Debit Card !!! I met a guy, within ten minutes..who gave me a map, on a Napkin no-less....of how to take a boat up a river (Another), at the boarder....Go to the little Smuggler Restaurants, (Again), Floating. And, they would take me up the river to Honduras.... for an un-disclosed fee. Heh...Heh...Heh !!! I Decided...After much inner turmoil & thought. I FINALLY said it !!!...Out Loud !! Screw It.!!! I'm NOT....sneaking through "Walls"... In "My Mothers Home"....Anymore !!! I'm going right through Edwana ("The Gate")... The Boy's...The Police....The Boarder Patrol....Immigration....Customs or whoever else....shows up. I'm... A "WORLD CITIZEN".....I Am H'OM'E.... And I was "BORN HERE".. Planet Earth.... It's My Mother....I Am Her Son... So... "Can I PLEASE...come into Another Room in "Our / My H 'Om" E ????" Well, the Plot...Thickens....I'm carrying "Motta" ....Go Figure ???? The first Boarder Stop..(Passports Please)!!! I was still on the Bus....So I stayed low. >HuH...Huh...Huh !!!! Next...."The Boarder "GATE" >>HuH.>>HUH...HUH Ah !!!! Passports.. I Hear...as I got closer. AHHHH....AHHHH....AHHHH! "No Hay", I say !!! He looked away...for an "Instant"......& I "Just Kept Walking". Then 100 ft. in front of me....was Seven Un-informed "whatever's". laughing....at the sight of this Old Man jumping around (Honduran pavement is HOT...Dam Hot!!!) Me....(RAINBOWED_TO_THE MAX) standing now...on the other side of the road.... on a whitewashed concrete mound. I start laughing..... and before a "Deer knows what the head-lights...on a car are. I walked toward them...speaking my Spanglish with alot of...Huh...Huh...Huh sounds... asking about "Changing $$$" All to easy...I was THROUGH !!! HAH>>>HAH>>>>HAH !!!!! I'm in Honduras !!! Not over Yet <><><O><><> Hardly any $$$ left (less than $70. U.S.).... I make it to the "Galaxy ll".... The Ferry to Roatan was half (574 Lempira-approx.$35.u.s.) I wasn't even expecting to NEED a Passport.... Now !!! The "Un-informed Official"... lectured me about what would happen to him in the U.S. >>>If he didn't have a Passport or Papers....Bla !!! Bla !! Bla !!! (A.A.I) Agree-Acknowledge-Ignore !!! I thought they might check my bag.... Soooooo, Bo thinks putting it (The Motta).... in his rolled-up Blanket... would be safer...If they check,... Than his Guatemalan Shoulder Bag. Just like India...1971...(Only Opposite)...SURPRISE... Metal Detector...For Me... X-ray & God ONLY Knows What For my Bag & Blanket..AHHHHHHH !!!! I was so SCARED , my "Life"...just "Crashed & Burned"... I saw the Jail... then mental picture... projected...to my "Total" disbelief... what happens in Jail... The END!!!...ALL....Going through my MIND.... As my 4'x 4' little metal cigarette case, inside my blanket... Is going through the "Machine"....I thought for a "Split-Second"... to grab it back...but instead... I let out this "Sound"...of "FEAR"... and, they looked at Me....At that same "PERFECT MOMENT" And,...I Was Through...... "The Pearly White Gates Of HEAVEN" I NEVER thought it would be a "White Metal Detector "..though !!! <><><O><><> As the Sun's going down.....Two hours later. I get off The...Galaxy ll Ferry.... |
