I finally made it here! After and 18 hour travel day full of flying and questionable Honduran highways, I arrived last night around 7pm. My host family (Esmeralda, her daughters and her adorable grandsons) is wonderful. After inspecting my room for scorpions and bedbugs all was found satisfactory and I got a fairly good night sleep. After a night full of heavy rains, it is a beautiful morning. The sun is out, and it's not too humid...yet! I'm sure that will change. From what I hear the rain is pretty much like clockwork and arrives daily at 3:00.
Copán is quaint, very hilly with cobblestone streets. There are lots of motos (local taxis) and you have to be careful not to get runover, as slippery cobblestones, large hills and three wheeled taxis can prove to be quite dangerous!
I am a little overwhelmed by the Spanish. I am telling myself that it's normal...it will pass, this is just cultural shock...I feel like everything I want to say or ask has to be processed and reprocessed as I don't want to say the wrong thing...or make someone think that I actually know what I'm talking about!
