Some happy faces from the past.

These faces are stone carvings located in one of the areas of the Copan Ruins. This particular area was used for celebrations and dances. Hence, the smiles!

A rare sighting...

I have actually posed for a picture. The location is the steps of one of the Copan Ruins. The Copan Ruins are one of the most visited tourist attractions in Honduras. It is one of the oldest Mayan sites in Central America.

A brief public service announcement.

This blog is intented to keep my friends back in Trinidad up to date with my adventures. Those of you out there who like the site give me a email. Let me know someone is seeing it. You know how to reach me. And yes, I am missing home.

My favourite picture so far...

The translation says 'Life is short, enjoy it.' Enough said.

A popular form of transport.

This seems to be a very popular means of transport in the smaller towns. It is basically a motorbike with a cabin for driver and passengers. I wonder if I can fit one in my bag?

An Internet Cafe and Laundry in Copan.

An Internet Cafe and Laundry in Copan. I swear that I thought of it first. Just did not do it yet. Sounds familiar?

Here is a picture of Hell. It is really a snack while you wait.

Now fellow trinis, that snack is looking like carrot, onion and some type of vegetable in one bowl and some seasoning in the other. I saw everybody eating it, so when in Rome do as the romans. That is as HOT as Hell. Caliente, I was told by the waitress between laughs. Those green things are really mountain chili peppers and a chili pepper dip to go with it. Pressure. I ate my meal of chicken tacos and drank 2 soft drinks and was still suffering. Respect due to the locals.

A picture of the Center from a Mexican eatery.

A view while I waited for my meal. The Center is the main square in San Pedro Sula. Surrounded by malls and a rather large cathedral on one side and business places.

YesI know, sticking as normal.

Well, we arrived safely. Honduras is not what I thought it would be. Not that it is bad, just not what I expected. The country is beautiful and is very diverse. But with all places you may visit there are good and bad. We are staying in San Pedro Sula the industrial capital of Honduras. I will try my best from now on to post at least every 2 days. No excuses. Well, maybe one or two every now and then ;)
