Central America: visiting the countries Mexico, El Salvador and Guatemala within four weeks between December 1995 and January 1996. Four weeks are definetely too short to visit those countries, but at least I was getting first touch. I gained manifold impressions: Mexico-City, Veracruz, Cancun, San Salvador and uncounted active and inactive volcano. I visited a coffee harvest, had discussions with Ukraine sailors and met very gently people during these weeks... In Guatemala-City I did not really sight-seeing as I was all night at party with the very friendly local people - I will never forget the night after visiting a disco: as my hotel was somewhere in a dangerous area, the new met friends drove me to the hotel. I get out, giving big thanks to all and went to the door: But it was locked and nobody was in. Then I heard music from somewhere - I walked to the source of noise and found a restaurant/bar; however, it was locked. After ringing the bell they guys welcomed me friendly, let me know that this is a dangerous area and let me in and I celebrated further until 8 in the morning, where my hotel finally was open....
