[Postcards From The South]

In an effort to learn a little bit more about this world and our place within it, we have decided to embark on a year-long journey through Central and South America beginning in March of 2008. This is a personal account of our experiences and observations as we explore the depths of this continent, and ourselves. Enjoy!

Honduras... here we come, and there we go



Megan:
Internet cafes must be getting harder to come by, because as we left Honduras and entered Nicaragua on a 'chicken bus' this morning, we realized that we had not yet written anything about our two weeks of adventures in the Banana Republic. Our first stop in Honduras was Copán Ruinas where we enjoyed the charming city center, visited a butterfly preserve and explored the intricately carved Mayan ruins for which this town is named. We wondered how impressive the ruins would seem after seeing Tikal only a week prior, but we were pleasantly surprised by the detail and high level of craft. After a few days in Copán, we set out for the well known reef island of Roatán off the northern coast of Honduras where Jon & I successfully completed our open water diving certification!

We have assembled a slide show from our time in Copán, and we have a lot of photos from the rest of our time in Honduras, but unfortunately our photo server has been down for a few days. We are looking forward to sharing these along with our latest thoughts and experiences soon.
