La Ceiba, Honduras










Yay! Pictures. A nice English bloke showed me how to upload some photos. I´ve got tons more, but I thought I´d start small. I´m back on the main land, although gorgeous, the Bay Islands were outrageously expensive. While still on Roatan, with another new friend, a girl from NYC, I went to a cool full moon party a couple of nights ago. A good time was had by all.
Stayed at a lodge last night right on a river with cool mountains surounding it. The drive up was amazing. Honduras is a very mountainous country. Jungles and mountains. It´s like eye candy. It rained, heavily, last night and getting up this morning and seeing the very swollen river running over it´s banks was a site to see. Today I´m back in civilization and will be bussing it tomorrow morning to the capital city. I had hoped to leave today for the capital, but some of the roads have washed out due to the rain. I may stay the night there tomorrow, not sure. But from there I´ll be making my way to Pacific coast of Nicaragua.
I´m think I´m going to fly from Nicaragua direclty to Ecuador, I´m hearing pretty amazing things about Peru and Boliva. I´ve been to Costa Rica twice, so it won´t be a hardship to miss it. I´m already feeling like my time off is flying by. Anyway, I´ll need to know pronto if anyone is coming for a visit.
The people in Honduras aren´t as friendly as the Guatemalans. They´re not unfriendly, just not as outgoing. I loved Guatemala. The population there is very indiginous, and welcoming whereas here in Honduras, it´s much less varied.
To my dismay I´ve seen a Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut, Payless Shoes and Duncan Donuts! What´s up with that? Although I shouldn´t complain, ´cause this gringa just had her pizza delivered. It came on a motorcycle.
Ciao for now! Thanks for all your notes.

Kate..no!! Sadly, due to my outstanding Spanish skills it was a thick crust pizza.

Sally, it was awesome, but I must confess, I still like Black Beach better.
