Out of all the countries I've visited on this trip, Honduras has surprised me the most. First of all, the drivers are absolutely insane. I've never been passed at such high speed around blind corners before...and the vehicles passing me are semi-trucks. It was quite the thrilling experience and one I hope to avoid repeating.

Honduras wasn't extremely exciting, but it was extremely pleasant. Our one adventure came when we tried to find the first microbrewery ever opened in Honduras and we ended up driving on poorly-lit (but well paved) Honduran roads at night while it rained.

The ruins of Copan were very cool. The carvings were by far the best preserved of any of the Mayan sites we've seen so far. I'll try and do a whole entry concerning Copan in the near future.

I'll go more in-depth about Honduras soon. I'm beat. By the way, I'm writing this from Nicaragua and it's just about time to get some major beach action in.
