Casa Dona Elena B & B Copan

... the Acropolis. Each of these were truly amazing and we managed to climb around to our hearts content, careful not to slip on the very mossy areas, although Alan had commandeered a nice walking stick and was doing his fair share of bundu bashing through the more jungle parts of the site - a regular Indiana Jones is Al! The surrounding jungle was also awesome to look at and we just marvelled at how the Mayan´s had managed to find the spot and build these wonderful ...

... pequena e uma cidade bastante turistica. Fiquei num albergue. Custo: $5.00 dolares por dia. Cafe da manha 2.50.
A nooite a cidade e bem agitada. Muitos barzinhos pois todas as pessoas de cidades vizinhas veem para ca. Daqui estou seguindo para a divisa de Honduras com Nicaragua. Proxima parada sera Granada. Nos vemos.

... proceeded to tell me this! In my terrible spanish I proceeded to tell them that Australians are stupid and it wouldnt stop me! They found this pretty amusing.
Once into Honduras and on the next bus, the scenery became stunning. More mountainous and green than El Salvador. Poor old El Salvador didnt really get a good write up in my other blog, it was nice, but the scenery in Honduras was simply stunning.
I was heading to the last big Mayan Ruins on my trip ...

... to arrive at the plantation. Then we rode through the whole farm for about three hours on horseback. My horse´s name was Claracita. Lauren´s was named Grujito, and he was either really stubborn or Lauren was just terrible at riding a horse.

We did find ...

... standpoint. She ordered from the "Maya side" of the menu (tacitos de pollo) while I had chicken nuggets and tomato soup. Our version of paying is also a bit bizarre. We are, in fact, two Americans in Honduras paying with Guatemalan currency. Since we´re only here for a few days, we didn´t want to get too much Honduran currency.

Our hotel has calmed down a bit since the wedding has left. It´s less lively, but I´m sure we´ll sleep better tonight.

... the best idea. I can't remember exactly, but I think it was about 6 miles which can be done in about 3-4 hours. There was one part that they said was steep but the rest should be no problem. That wasn't entirely true!

The steep part was steep but led to some amazing views of Lago de Yajoa, Honduras' only lake. The trail wound up in a cloud forest which offered us really unique plants and lizards that could only be ...

... registration, the center is able to provide statistics, for the whole school as well as individually.And here is what the statistics say: more than 1,300 children are
currently registered and 150 to 180 children come to the center every day.
150 children for 5 adults ... what a dream-like situation, don't you think, dear friends who work with kids ?
And I swear to you: after 5 weeks there, teachers are safe and sound and satisfied with their working ...

... hein?): -Le roi aurait gagné la guerre et aurait enfermé des lapins en prisons. -Des lapins, tu es sûre? -Si, si. -Et en allemand ça pourrait pas être autre chose, parce que mettre des lapins en prisons, ça fait pas de sens. Et elle nous tend le livre pour qu'on vérifie de nous même... -Heu, désolé, je ne lis pas l'allemand. Bah finalement, on admet avec réserve (on lira ensuite dans mon livre qu'un des rois ...

... ou 6.50$), il a surement arrete sa journee apres ca en se disant quil etait riche, mais bon, tant mieux pour lui, il etait sympa! On a creche dans une petite place tenue par un Americain qui sest etabli ici il y a 20 ans, il avait meme sa propre micro brasserie, donc on en a profite! Petit tour en chaloupe de 5h sur le Lago de Yojoa! Pauvre Hondurien qui a rame tout ce ...
