Fun Fact!

So the yellow buses that all the locals catch here that I mentioned previously are called "chicken buses" this name came about for two main reasons:

1) On these buses that should comfortably fit say 50 people, they tend to squeeze in more like 80 people, it's unbelievable! Much like battery hens in a coop...
2) When riding on these buses it's like playing chicken every time (the game in which two drivers speed directly towards each other until one pulls out or they crash and die...). They overtake in very ambiguous conditions, honking their horn hoping that whoever is in the way will move!

Both of these things make for rather interesting travel experiences to say the least...

And coming up on the blog: Volcano hiking and boarding, national festival in León... Stay tuned!
