Hey,
I just wanted to get a check from you all about walking to/from Edit's place in La Ceiba to town at night. I teach self-defense & don't generally drink/drug, so I feel pretty secure about being able to handle myself. Question is, yep, it's darker than usual & I prefer to not have to use my skills, even though I'm comfortable giving up cash, negotiating verbally, using physical skills if I need to, etc. -- better to not have to deal with bad situations altogether.
I stayed at Fata Morgana last time & loved it, though I didn't like the long(muddy!) walk in & having to take a moto back, since I like dancing late & such. Anyhoo, last time I was there some of the people I met said things about tigueres & how I shouldn't go home at all after a certain hour, even if they were taking me, cuz it just wasn't safe & they were scared. Others questioned whether I really trusted the concho drivers. I know that sometimes these guys had personal motivations in trying to keep me out, but what do you all think? How often does stuff happen out there? Is it just property theft?
I'm staying at Fata Morgana either way, so no need for other hotel options, but just want some more information to make my transportation choices with-- that hopefully don't come with mixed motivations.
Thanks.
