¡saludos de Honduras!

Another stamp has been added to my passport, as I crossed the border from Guatemala into Honduras near Copàn Ruinas. I spent a couple of days in Copàn, visited the Mayan ruins, checked out the amazing hieroglyphic stairway, saw some interesting glyphs, nearly died from the heat and humidity.

I actually couldn´t wait to get away from Copàn. The heat was suffocating. So I got on a bus yesterday morning, and headed toward the Caribbean. The best part of the trip was the boat ride from La Ceiba, Honduras (after spending a shocking 420 Lempiras), heading north to Utila, where the massive waves caused all 50 or so people who decided to sit in the open air on top of the boat to be entirely drenched by the time we arrived.


Now today I´m on an island in the Caribbean Sea just north off the coast of Honduras. Utila is probably the cheapest place in the world to get certified as a scuba diver. So today, I start the four day course. I´m excited for this new adventure. I´m feeling a bit rushed though, ´cause I made some really amazing plans for next week. I try not to make too many plans, but this was something I couldn´t pass up.... I´ll share more details soon!
