This event led to many individuals losing their lives although many people had fought to the finish and recieved what they truly wanted the most.

I didn39t sleep well got up at 445am and left at 545am to get a taxi to the ferry. The ferry was almost in the same place as the Carnival ship yesterday there was a new ship there today. The ferry left at 7am and it was totally calm. Such a different experience that the ride over. I talked to a woman from Roatan who lives in the Cayman Islands for w http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Honduras/Central/Tegucigalpa/blog-733453.html Next stop was Comayagua the former capital of Honduras known for its colonial architecture. I stayed two nights here. It was a bit underwhelming but there were definitely some nice churches and a cool cafe or two that made the stop not a total bust.Stayed at the Hotel American Inc. with nary an American in sight. Somewhat generic with broken internet but clean enough with actual working http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Honduras/Central/Comayagua/blog-732787.html 111911 Wheres Jan Jans gone. I was nearly screaming in the crowded caf. I looked from the chair in which she had just been sitting to all the faces now staring at me wondering what it was I was screaming about.

Forty kilometers south via a dirt road is the ecoparadise once featured by National Geographic Monteverde. It has butterfly frog and snake gardens suspension bridges and canopy tours. But Im not going there. No Ive had enough of Costa Rica and its high prices paying 10 for a breakfast that would cost 7 in LA. In Monteverde I http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Honduras/Central/Comayagua/blog-634241.html This is a message straight from our team in Honduras. The progress in work that they are doing is amazing. For bible school they had a huge turnout. God is really working with this group. It looks like he is showing out Lets pray for continued blessing on the group and the people they are witnessing tooGood Morning Staying positive is a must today and counting our blessings is so important http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Honduras/Central/Tegucigalpa/blog-628490.html Good morning everyone. I have finally received some info that I can pass along to everyone. One of the messages I got I was told just how much of a blessing it is for our group to be there. That just proves to us that God is leading them and our church in the right direction. On Saturday they actually got about half of the tile laid in the church. It was a slow process since they are having to b http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Honduras/Central/Tegucigalpa/blog-628216.html I decided that I could wait no longer to continue my travels so I decided to move on. I was fairly warned that travel might be difficult due to the Easter holiday but I was confident that I was prepared to improvise if necessary. I should not have worried. The Wendys in Siguatepeque was open so I ate a quick lunch there and pressed on toward the capital. I got stopped at a police checkpoint at http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Honduras/Central/Danli/blog-608053.html Comayagua Honduras and Antigua Guatemala are the two best known places in Central America to see the alfombras or carpets each Semana Santa Holy Week on Good Friday. Although there are a few other places doing them as well none are as well known as these two cities. I have now seen the sawdust carpets 3 times and am still impressed at the fine detail and work that goes into them. Most a http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Honduras/Central/Comayagua/blog-607695.html I didn't pack a thing last night. I wanted to just relax pretend we didn't have to leave. So we had to get up at the crack of dawn to pack today in order to be out on our 7am boat. We got it all together still made time for one last hot shower. Must take advantage of the luxuries when you have them. We sat in the restaurant with Mike Will had some coffee fruit.

She is moving to Paraguay to teach and no longer needs her car. I've been without a car all year which was WAY easier in Comayagua because you could walk anywhere but virtually impossible to do without in Tegus without paying for taxis to go everywhere. Before I tell you about my car l http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Honduras/Central/Tegucigalpa/blog-501744.html So last night was Kallie's last night in Honduras. She flies out this afternoon. We took my new car more on that soon out for a joy ride and went to a couple of different bars for some celebratory drinks. During drinks Kallie asked what our best and worst moments of the schoolyear were. At camp we do this with our campers every night and call it Roses and Thorns. We all went around the tab http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Honduras/Central/Tegucigalpa/blog-501732.html Walt and I went to a party last Saturday a week ago today with a bunch of the teachers from my school. It was at Ana and Ismael's house. It was a Cinco de Mayo Mexican holiday celebration but about a week after May 5th...Anyways we had never seen their apartment until that night. As soon as I walked in I loved it. It has a very large main room with lots of space.
