  The hot springs were an hours drive outside Copan, the distance was not great, just that it was a mountainous, switch-back dirt road.  There were houses along most of the way, some rather nice, some not so much.

The ruins at Copan are probably the best, and largest, I have seen. This site was about a kilometre from town and the only one we had time to see. It was well maintained, and so clean… take a look at the broom this guy is using. Several trees at the entrance to the parkContinue reading “Myan ruins at Copan”

Have to say, my first volunteer “job” has been quite the experience, I again have had the privilege of getting to know the most lovely, dedicated people.With permission, I was able to get pictures of some of the staff and volunteers.Continue reading “More about the clinic”

On New Years Eve Daryl and I rented a car and decided to do a bit of exploring on this beautiful island. A little car is not very good as the roads can be quite rough! The island is not very big (Wikipedia says it is 59 km long), however most of the time theContinue reading “This beautiful Island”
