Hotel Camino Maya Copan

... delicious homemade food, I watched kids try their luck at some stilts and other random homemade wooden toys someone brought. Some of my students were playing a neat soccer board game where one had to move a marble (soccer ball) through rubber bands. Kites and jump ropes were also scattered around the school with 8 kids jumping at a time. It was one of the first times I felt a real sense of community within the school. Its hard when there is a whole new group of ...

... and fixings for a pasta meal. We stayed chatting in the room for a while with our roomates, a Peace Corp worker from Virginia and the most annoying person I have met on my travels so far, a French Canadian guy whose name I have forgotten. <br><br>This was a man who was not supposed to travel, especially by himself. He was scared of everything and too cautious about things. In the three months that I have spent travelling in Central America I have only personally used a ...

... places in Honduras. It's a fantastic place though, our room is small but clean and comfortable, no hot water we have a private bathroom and the ceiling fan makes the room lovely and cool so we&#8217;re happy. The hostel also has a great bar playing chilled music, a fantastic menu (its veggie heaven) and organizes film nights (we watch Year One on the huge projection screen) and other events.<br><br>The first full day there we head off to the ...

... br>Quando finalmente pequei a estrada( que so tem uma faixa) estava cheia de<br>caminhoes. Quando cheguei a onde estou ja eram mais de 6 da tarde<br>a fronteira estava fechada. Vou levantar cedo e cruzar amanha cedo em<br>direcao a Ruinas de Copan em Honduras. Abraco a todos<br>

... Ruinas in one day, but, because of not so great planning and unexpected bus schedules, I got to San Pedro Sula (almost stayed the night!) and then got to La Entrada, a town apparently infamous for narcotrafficking. Didn´t see any narcotraffickers, but I did eat some fantastic baleadas (flour tortillas with beans, eggs, and some other stuff in there; they´re great!). The following morning I got into Copan Ruinas bright and early. <br><br>I expected more out of Copan Ruinas ...

... I have so many things to tell you that I don't know where to start ... <br><br>Schedule: <br><br> As I said in my previous post, after several sedentary weeks: <br><br> - learning Spanish in Xela <br> - working as a volunteer Antigua, <br><br> I am for 4 days (May 15-18) in Honduras, in the small town of Copan that has one of the most beautiful ruins of the Maya world. <br><br> But let's do things orderly and start at the beginning:<br><br>Volunteering at ...

... sprich mit gestuzten Fluegeln - Papageien gab es dort auch. Copan ist ein suesses kleines Kolonialstaedchen und mir gefaellt es um einiges besser als in Guatemala, wir haben dort zwar wunderschoene Dinge gesehen, aber es war einfach um einiges mehr touristisch - touristisch von der nervigen Sorte. Morgen geht es dann weiter nach Gracia, Nebelwald schauen und in heissen Quellen plantschen. (Heute wieder mit Fotos, bei Felix)

... it rained on us for most of the time, the museum was good with a full size replica of a temple that was found inside another structure on the site. Copan is a nice little touristy town with all that you would expect - from the book exchange to the gringo owned restaraunts that give us exactly what we need. Semana santa is practically upon us so we need to find somewhere to hide out/watch the festivites untill its over as the country virtually shuts down for this period.

... vacillating between entering further or to regress from whence it came. <br> <br> If the perpetrator of one horrendous act can be sentenced to up to 20 years in prison, why not the perpetrator of the other horrendous act too? It´s just not fair dammit!<br> <br> What´s that? Try some Metamucil I hear you say. Well, Metamucil can be a dangerous thing, especially when the directions for taking it are written in Spanish - I´ve either been taking too much or not enough. Not enough and ...
