Today is Tuesday, my day off. With groups not here, things are slow enough that Marc could take the day off, too. We planned one of our famous outings which always proves to be an adventure of one kind or another.
We headed south on the Choluteca highway and then turned toward El Amatillo, the little town on the Honduran/El Salvadoran border. We had so much fun riding along allowing the wind to blow through our hair. We stopped and shopped at some of the little roadside stores and found some wonderful bargains.
We decided we would cross the border, kick around, eat lunch and head back. At immigration we showed our passports. Sierra's was ok. Mine was ok. Marc's was not. Marc's Honduran residency card is expired. We know that and he is working daily trying to get it fixed, but our lawyer seems to have other priorites. We were already in El Salvador as the immigration is inside the border. Sierra and I could have gone on, but Marc was told to leave.
We all headed back into Honduras. Sierra and I walked back out on the bridge because we both had to have some pictures. I took one of her with one foot in Honduras and one in El Salvador.
Being told to leave was not a huge deal. We found another place to eat lunch. But this residency card better be fixed before we go to Costa Rica in 5 weeks. It probably will be. Excluding the lawyer and making a few properly placed phone calls to the right other people, seems to be working, already.
So, today, October 5, 2010 will always be remembered as the day Marc got thrown out of El Salvador.

Terri, maybe those folks in El Salvador have heard about "Marcos"! Hope he gets his gringo card soon, don't leave home without it.
Blessings, Rickey
The adventures of Marc and Terri never end! Glad this one had a happy ending!
I had to laugh. This made my day...the only place I was ever kicked out of was Grants (now Macy's) for acting crazy with my friends. Better to be kicked out of El Salvador than in a jail there :)
