Copan Ruins

---

Hello everyone,
We made it to Honduras just fine and we are currently at the Copan Ruins. The town that we are staying in is really cool. All of the roads are cobblestone and there are a lot of cute cafes and shops. The town is surrounded by coffee and tobacco plantations so there is a bunch of high quality coffee and cigars in town. Today we went to see the Copan Mayan Ruins and they were really amazing. The ruins that we saw today date back to between 600 to 700 A.D. They are stacked on top of even older ruins that are now underground. There were many statues and pyramid type ruins with long stairways running up. We walked all around the complex and took way to many pictures. Tomorrow we are crossing the boarder into Guatemala and staying the night there in order to get to Belize. We hope that everyone is surviving the cold snowy weather we will be joining you all shortly. Adios!

Thanks for the update. The town sounds pleasant. Name? I'll bet ruin touring feels a lot different than beach life. Will you be going to other ruins? Remember to be extra cautious in good old Guatemala. Ciao

The snow is melting, we've all gone back to work/school. Not much else is new. The ruins look awesome. The myan head has aged suspiciously well. Mabeline or Ponds or whoever tries to prevent aging should ship some researchers down there and figure it out. Have fun in Belize. That's where lots of people have the one dread, the beaver tail hair style. Take pictures.
