3 kms antes del Parque Arqueologico Copan, Honduras, 504, 504-651-4480
Another border crossing behind us we headed to Flores which would be our base for exploring Tikal - yet another ruin site! We then headed further south to Rio Dulce where we were staying in a great hotel right on the river. The hotel owner had invented Kevin dollars - worth 5 Quetzales each so that the bar staff didn't need to handle money and he didn't need to buy more tills!!! A great night was had by all... I had the worst ever Pina Colada here however as it tasted like it had been made wi...
Flores to Copan, Honduras monkey_moore
... Before going to the party we ate at an amazing pizza place. More amazing than the pizza were the 2 TVs: one playing the USC-Oregon football game and one playing the World Series. I don’t even watch that much sports in the States, but here it is so comforting to get any taste of home. There was a family from Oregon there too and it was great fun to actually talk sports with people who understand the game. We stopped at the other restaurant to see my skeleton ...
Copan, Honduras mgesley... some much needed internet time at a internet store that also had a sideline as a hair salon... needless to say it was extremely hot in there with all the blow drying going on! <br><br>Later that evening we decided to check out the Peace Corp party at Via Via. We walked into what looked like your average college frat party (or, having never been to an average college frat party, what I imagined one to look like!). It was not yet 9pm but there were a lot of drunk people ...
Copan, Honduras mardow... property. It is also worth a visit to the museum in Copan town. It’s only $3 entry and has displays of the smaller items, the tools, the jewelry, the bowls and plates.<br><br>The ex-President has returned to Honduras, apparently smuggled in the trunk of a Brazilian diplomat car into the Brazilian Embassy. So once again the country is plagued by riots and curfews. Copan isn’t so affected, but we are kept in Honduras longer than ...
Copan, Honduras twinkfran... 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. <br><br>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.<br><br><br>
Copan, Honduras amandanlauren... 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! <br><br>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 ...
Pena Blanca, Honduras claudiacfavre... 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<br>currently registered and 150 to 180 children come to the center every day. <br> 150 children for 5 adults ... what a dream-like situation, don't you think, dear friends who work with kids ?<br>And I swear to you: after 5 weeks there, teachers are safe and sound and satisfied with their working ...
Antigua Guatemala, Western Highlands, Guatemala mymzy... instead of crazy packed. The ride was hot and bumpy but we managed at one point in time I had a small kid hanging on to my leg so she wouldn't fall down. Copan is a small town close to the border of Guatemale that has more mayan ruins. These are on a much smaller scale then Tikal but very nice in there own right. They are only 1km out of the town with a nice trail beside the road to walk on so no need to pay to get out there. We stayed at a hotel for 10 ...
Copan, Honduras andrewp... En fait, cetait un bird tour parce qu il y a 400 especes doiseaux sur le lac! On en a pas vu autant, mais cetait tres bien, peut etre une cinquantaine (perroquets, toucans, orioles et meme des perruches que j ignorais qu une bete aussi insignifiante pouvait etre sauvage!) Mention special au guide, Malcolm, un vieux hippie d une soixantaine dannees d Angleterre tres sympa!
Pena Blanca, Honduras xjassx... wearing these t-shirts in Honduras and Guatemala, surely donations from well meaning but nonetheless idiotic westerners. <br> <br> So without further ado, the top 5 most hysterical novelty t-shirts worn by Mayan children, in ascending order: <br> <br> 5. "My Boyfriend´s Out Of Town" - as worn by 8 year old Delmi.<br> <br> 4. "Dady´s Little Girl" - as worn by 10 year old Walter.<br> <br> 3. "My Dad Is A Viking" - funny regardless of who wears it.<br> <br> 2. A picture of a barcode ...
