truly, tho... would love to experience the culture. I lived on the deep South Side of San Antonio when I was based at Lackland AFB. Everyone around me spoke Spanish only or broken English. My daughter learned Spanish (TexMex) at a very early age from the kids she played with. I know it's not exactly the same in the other countries in Central America, but the history, architecture, the ruins, the wildlife... they speak to my soul. Enjoy the quiet ambience of the wildlife...
