Hotel Madrugada Copan

... around the plaza a bit and saw a restaurant with an upstairs porch. We decided to get check it out and found two of the employees making tons of Halloween decorations for that night. I asked to help and they put me in charge of making a paper skeleton. I&#8217;d never drawn a skeleton before, but teaching preschool has made me overcome my anxiety about my own art. Surprisingly it didn&#8217;t turn out that bad! <br><br>Sophie, K-Lo and I wanted to go as something very ...

... best. The next morning, however, I was determined to still get up and do stuff so we all took a walk down to Via Via and some other hotels as Manzana Verde was fully booked up for the weekend for the massive Peace Corp Halloween weekend, an annual event in Copan. This is when all the Peace Corp workers in Honduras meet up for a crazy weekend of drinking and partying in fancy dress, a time to let your hair down and go wild. The town was already full of PC´s walking around ...

... of the buildings and stucco work not yet uncovered.<br><br>The next day we head back to the Archeological Park to see the museum as we ran out of time the day before, this is an extra $7 each on top but worth seeing. Many of the more fragile statues in the outside park are actually replicas and the originals are here inside. In the afternoon we walk the 2km up the road to the Les Sepultures which is the ruins of the village. The entrance fee is ...

... in this country strong enough to remove the president was the military.....so they arrested and exiled him. Then, the military immediately stepped down to let Congress (the obviously most qualified) run the country. It really wasn´t even a military take over since the miltary didn´t take over anything. Now, there are certain restrictions in place to prevent riots and such (like a 9pm curfew), but other than that, the country is plowing along as ...

... at this way. One thing that was really impressive was the hieroglyphic staircase. It´s basically a huge staircase with hieroglyphs covering nearly every surface. They supposedly tell the story of Copan. It´s really spectacular to look at. There was also a cool ballcourt that appeared to to have macaw heads rather than hoops. <br><br>The part I liked most about the site was some of the faces. All of the ones we´ve seen previously have either been very generic ...

For me, a relaxing vacation includes long vigorous hikes up mountains... for others, this is not the case. I clearly stated that it was not necessary for everyone to participate but my gung-ho group insisted that they were up for anything. Almost anything... <br><br>We were hoping to hop a few buses and visit the National Park "Cerro Azul" (blue sky). It is mountainous and has a cloud forest- it sounded great. Well, we should ...

... in the morning and thus come in the afternoon. The morning is spent cleaning the premises, preparing the activity of the after noon, etc.<br><br> From 1pm to 5pm: computer lessons, 1 group per hour. <br> De 1pm to 3pm: homework, reading or reinforcement classes<br>From 3pm to 4pm: daily activity around the weekly theme: geographical position of Guatemala in the world, adjectives,mathematics, etc.. <br> Once the activity is completed and until 5pm: games ...

... sans le vouloir, j'avais des doutes sur elle en train de jouer mais après avoir mis 2 fois la tête sous l'eau sans vraiment sourire, me suis dit qu'elle devait pas jouer! Je l'attrape délicatement et la pose au bord de la piscine devant la tête médusée des filles. Enfin, demandez leur de raconter, c'est probablement plus drôle. Malheureusement pour moi l'hôtel est près de l'océan, donc moustique, donc piqures!

... regardaient en nous traitant de gringos, on a lache le pouce pour dormir dans lhotel le plus proche! Lendemain matin, wow! Ce nest plus la meme ville crado de la veille! Il y a legerement plus de vie et visiblement plus de taxis, donc au diable se casser la tete a trouver la place (quon aurait surement pas trouve autrement) le chauffeur nous a charge 5 fois le prix (100 ...

... scarily vivid images of bizzare situations. In addition to my meeting with Captain Cobain I´ve visited my old primary school...stark naked, been dragged through the Amazon Rainforest tied to the back of a ute and I´ve been a character on the hit 90´s television series "The Wonder Years".<br> <br> To all you druggies out there, if you´d like a cheap night in and are unable to source any LSD get a crooked doctor friend to write you up a script. I think you´ll find the ...
