The perfect day!

Yesterday night it rained non-stop it was unbelievable. I thought men tomorrow it's going to be all dark and cloudy again...

I woke up and the sun was out!! grabbed a quick breakfast and head to the field with Matt. We spent 4 hours hiking and I had my best day ever I got 18 of my butterflies, my collecting is officially done I'm soooo happy!!

Then in the afternoon I headed out again to look for butterfly aggregations and I got lucky again I found 2!! it was so easy and it was still before sunset that I decided to keep wondering towards the east in some off road trail. I heard some voices and loud bangs from either shots or some sort of fireworks I followed the noise and all of a sudden I'm in the edge of a soccer field of a local town. I went to the locals and asked for a little shop to buy some chips and coke (they called this stores here "pulperias") and they told me, yeah just keep going this way you are almost there. The town looked very poor but people was nice. The pulperia was a tiny window and the owner was called Porfirio. I told him I only had American dollars and he told me "No dólares no" (I don't accept dollars) only Lempiras (the local currency). So I told him just accept this bill and I will come tomorrow and bring you Lempiras and you give me my bill back, he said, how much is the exchange rate, I told him 19 lempiras for a dollar, so he said ok that's fair (the coke and chips were 10 lempiras). While drinking my coke there was a little girl buying groceries for her family and I asked her "what's your name" she said I'm Michelle. I told her I study butterfies and I just came out of the big mountain that is there (I pointed to the mountain range). I asked do you know how's it called? she said "pico, something" I told here It's called Pico Bonito "Beautiful peak".

After this it was dark already, so I headed back to the forest and of course non of the trails were recognizable. Luckily I had created a track route with my GPS and use it to navigate back.
