Odyssey Maps

In this week's dispatch, Abeja walks through the black sands of El Tigre Island, off the coast of Honduras.

She then climbs with Kavitha to the top of Volcan Madera. This volcano on Ometepe Island, Nicaragua, provides a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of Managua and Posoltega, where President Bill Clinton is visiting. Also from Nicaragua, Kavitha relates the historic story behind the rivaling cities of Leon and Granada. In Leon, Abeja dances with dolls over twice her size.

Finally, Monica sends her dispatch from San Jose, Costa Rica, right after the exciting interview with Oscar Arias.
