Tracy going home, Dad arriving and almost getting robbed

Up at 6:00am, Tracy packed. We both got travellers diahrea. We had breakfast and waited around. Linda Vista arranged a taxi for her at 8:00am, her two weeks are finished and she's heading back to Canada.

I sent Tracy off on her own in a taxi and hung around the B&B waiting for dad. He arrived about 1:30 and he got settled into our room.

We took a walk up the small touristy area near us and had an expensive lunch at an Italian restaurant and a couple of beers. The waiter was very friendly, very broken English, and he was trying to help us speak Spanish and probably trying to learn a but more English as well.

Dad wanted ice cream after that, so we headed towards Parque Central where there are a bunch of ice cream shops. We had a McFlurry from McDonalds (sorry Tracy!) and checked out a few of the sites.

After hanging out there for a bit, we came back to the room and I made a plan for where to head next, up to Copan Ruinas.

A bit later in the evening we headed to the Angry Beaver pub for a few beers and the place was busy! There are three little pubs in the building, all were open, had patio tables and chairs out and everything was packed. The wife of the Canadian recognized me and got us a place to sit outside, then she came and sat with us for a while, talking and helping us with our Spanish as well.

We headed home after 10:00pm and we got accosted by a prostitute. She crossed the road, talking to us, I just kept saying No, No over and over, then she went for dad. I turned around and she had her hands all over him, trying to get into his pockets. I went back and started pushing her away. She grabbed harder and grabbed my arm and scratched me a bit with her fingernails. I kept pushing harder, then she finally left.
