Que?

So, Dana and I started out our adventure in style flying first class to Honduras. Courtesy of her mother Dorothy. The dinner of glazed salmon was like the last supper, I savored every morsel! As a pescatarian, my diet is going to be a struggle in some of these countries. Even if I eat beans, you know they have lard. So beans it is!

We arrived in San Pedro Sula and let's just say we wanted to get out of there with a quickness! The men whistled at us like dogs as they followed after us. We were advised by about 10+ people to not go out on the streets at night and to take off all jewelry. We tried to go to two places recommended in the LP for some drinks and food, both places were completely shut down. As a matter of fact everything shuts down after dark. Yep, that kind of place. Oh, when Dana told me I should get a Spanish/English dictionary, she was right! They don't speak a word of English, not even hello. That's okay with me, it will help me learn faster.

The very next day we arrived in Copan. Copan is quaint and charming, definitely a place where one could pass some time. Today Dana and I went horseback riding, the fast galloping, hang on for dear life or you'll fall of the horse kind of riding. It was AWESOME, and our guide did not speak any English. Again, a great way to learn Spanish. I probably understood about 45 percent of what he was saying, the rest of the time I just shook my head. After that Dana and I visited some Mayan ruins which are a couple thousand years old, and did a nature walk. The ruins were beautiful but not too impressive, I guess Angkor Wat spoiled me a bit.

Tomorrow we leave for La Ceiba where we will do some whitewater rafting, I'm excited about that! Then off to one of the Islands, maybe Rotan for scuba.

Now, if I could only start asking the waiter for the check/la cuenta, and not his body/el cuerpo. Needless to say I'm very rusty!

Mucho Amore!
