Another day, another country - or so it can seem. Today we left Guatemala and entered Honduras. The border crossing was one of the smoothest. This contrasts with what I heard last night from a fellow Cedar Rapidian(!) who mentioned that he was robbed by border guards 5 or so years ago. He did mention he was by himself and that he crossed over at a remote northern border crossing. Our advantage is in numbers - if one of us is held up, we all stop.
Honduras seems cool so far. We're staying in the town of Copan Ruinas. This means Copan Ruins, which is interesting because the actual ruins of Copan are about a 1 kilometer away. This appears to be a nice way to force you to wander through the city instead of heading directly to the ruins. The town is actually pretty nice - it's a solid mix of Hondurans and foreign tourists.
We're heading to Copan tomorrow around 8 and staying until lunch until we hit the road again. Due to the driving distance and the supposed difficulty of bringing vehicles into El Salvador, we're going to abandon that plan and spend extra time in Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. While we won't get to "touch 'em all" (visit every country) we will get to spend more time on the beach.
