Escape from Alcatraz – Foiled!
Right after my last post, I decided to get out. Bought a bus ticket for El Capitolio. Planned to catch a taxi immediately to the airport from the bus station and see if I could catch the same flight I am on Thursday, but instead for today. Everything worked perfectly until Copa told me they were booked. May be until Thursday, coincidentally!!! I got the impression they did not like the idea of leaving their cozy island early. Will try again tomorrow. I am now back in El Capitolio. I think I have seen all the bad and ugly or at least enough to take the edge off more and I will do my best for however many days I am here to see some good. I did see a beautiful new arts school being completed today (Sunday, but I don´t see a lot of church-goers nor that many churches in this supposedly very Catholic country). Next to it was a half’completed cinder block apartment complex which was falling apart and looked like work had halted years ago.
