SAN SALVADOR - The government of Honduras has closed its borders and airports. It happened after ousted president Manuel Zelaya snuck back into the country with the help of the Brazlian government, causing the de facto government quite a headache.
In case you aren't familiar with the geography, I have to cross Honduras to get to Nicaragua from El Salvador.
So, with about one week left before I'm supposed to be in Nicaragua, what am I going to do? My editor (who helped write the TIME article I just posted about Zelaya) tells me to just wait, and that they can't keep the borders closed for very long. I don't know if that means I'll hang tight in San Salvador, which I just returned to after spending yesterday on the Pacific, or work my way south and hope something happens by the time I'm close to the border. I'm also considering finding someone with a boat to just take me around the Gulf of Fonseco, but I would have to find this hypothetical captain somewhere on the coast near the border and hope he doesn't charge me an arm and a leg.
Until then, I'll be running around San Salvador trying to learn more and maybe finally get a kick out of this big ugly city.
