I'd arrived in the Honduran border town of Marcala after my last blog had me leaving El Salvador and was hoping http://www.travelblog.org//Central-America-Caribbean/Honduras/Lago-de-Yojoa/blog-278146.html We stayed at a picturesque familyrun hostel called El Cortijo del Lago The Farmhouse of the Lake owned by an American expat his Honduran wife and their children.It sprawled leisurely across a small valley away from the road and overlooking the lake.With the big breezy screenedin common areas books and board games canoes and foosball it felt a lot like summer camp.We managed to navigate http://www.travelblog.org//Central-America-Caribbean/Honduras/Lago-de-Yojoa/blog-254804.html For our weekend off we decided to visit the largest lake in Honduras well it is one of the only lakes Lake Yojoa.

I got everything ready for me to be gone for 3 days with my parents. I made up packages for every day that I would not be there and had very detailed instructions for my students so that everything would get done and so that it didnt matter if they had an Englishspeaking teacher covering my class or a Spanish teacher.

There was a huuuuge waterfall that you can walk under. We had been warned that it would be really hard to see and to breathe but this didn't deter us...we went anyway Health and safety is basically nonexistant over here or if it's not it may as well be but I think we were fairly safe...ish We had to scramble over mu http://www.travelblog.org//Central-America-Caribbean/Honduras/Lago-de-Yojoa/Pulhapanzak-Falls/blog-137573.html Travelblog's notifications haven't been sending out lately.
