Funny story

So three of the guys that I work with are on a trip. They are driving a 70's volkswagon van from Fresno to (hopefully) panama or however far it makes it. Here is the last email I got from one of them.

"I think that we should probably write a travel book about things NOT to do in Central America. We are fast becoming the prime example of ignorant american tourists.
Last night the van was burgled.
Now normally we grab all of the valuables out of the bus if we get a room for the night, but for some reason, when we got to Antigua, it seemed like such a harmless town that we neglected some of the little things that we normally do. Such as not leaving our passports and credit cards in the bus.
Last night we got into town and me and berto threw our party suits on and went out. We locked up the van, but apparently Berto and Paul left some of their stuff in the van. Paul was being slow so we left without him, but when we ran into him an hour later, he was driving some random girls truck. He said he was taking her to San Carlos... I think she was too cracked out to know where she was, but Paul being the gentleman that he is, he drove her to the next town, and took a cab home.
When the bar closed down at 2 (lame), we went to grab some water from the van on the way to bed, but berto couldn´t find his bag. Then we noticed that the drivers door was unlocked and there was a hole in the screen in the window. Somebody had forced the side window open and punched in the screen.
The worst part was that you cant make phonecalls from Guatemala phones without a phonecard, and our phonecards were from Mexico, so they wouldn´t work (even though the phone company is the same in both countries). So they couldn´t call and cancel their cards till the morning.
So far I think they´ve gotten the credit card stuff taken care of (except for the 15 transactions on Pauls card last night), but we´ll see how it goes with getting Paul and Berto replacement passports. Oh, and they stole all the vans registration papers, so I really don´t know how we are going to get the van back out of the country. So Mike, if you want to start some sort of pool on what happens to the van, I´ve got 5 dollars that says the van spends the rest of it´s days rusting in Guatemala.

We´ll keep you updated on pending deportations and jail time."

Last email before this was about them ending up at a male strip club in mexico city.

I wonder where they will take me next...... For those of you who know the guys I work with Chuck is who wrote the email.
