for the past couple years i have been secretly dreaming of a road trip down the pan-american highway. the only central american country i have been to is el salvador, so i don't really have anything to compare it to, but it really made an impact on me. i don't know what sort of stuff you're interested in seeing, but i can recommend some places you should go relating to their civil war in the 80s, and i have some contacts if you would like the perspective of the poor/political left.
but yeah, i'm jealous. tell me all about it as you make plans.
i'd love to meet anyone you know from there. i've been trying to catch up on my history of the area and i really don't know much about el salvador. Was it anything like what happened in Nicaragua in the 80s? i heard you have to face a firing squad down there if you get caught driving drunk(is that true?) but that's about all i know.
a friend of mine delayed college a year and did exactly that. he went to costa rica, volunteered for a year, and it was the best thing he says he's ever done. He's fluent in spanish now, has tons of connections down there, loves everything...
