Honduras

Steve, Gayle, Christopher and I just returned from Honduras. It was an amazing trip. We began by landing in San Pedro Sula. At the airport, we were joined by Erika (my sister in law). We rented a van and drove to the little beach town of Tela. It was by far the scariest drive I have ever ridden. The roads are horrible, and there are NO rules for driving. The Hondurans will pass on switchbacks while a semi is coming. The views were beautiful.
We spend two days in Tela soaking up the sun, snorkeling, and hiking in the rainforest. We even saw wild monkeys.
We then proceeded to Comayaqua where the Soto Cano Airforce Base is located. We hung out on Christmas day at Erika's hooch (house).
We then drove to Copan Ruinas. This town is truly amazing. The Copan Mayan Ruins are located a mile outside of town. We spent three hours walking around the 1 square kilometer of ruins and still did not see everything. It was amazing. We also went on a canopy tour. The tour consisted of 14 zip cords. Two cords were 1 kilometer long! It was amazing.
This was a trip of a lifetime. Enjoy the pictures.
