Again, I'm ripping off someone else's online pix (because I can't upload mine 'til I get back to Canada). Last weekend we ventured to the west of Honduras to see the Copan Ruins (the remains of an ancient Mayan civilisation). They were very striking and interesting but the most adventurous part of our trip was the return journey: 4 buses and one ute (for non-Australians, translation: pick-up truck). 3 of the buses were old American school buses (for non-North Americans think: Ferris Bueler's Day off and The Wonder Years :) ) and one was a fairly dodgy old coach. The ute was the most fun (and I'll post a video of part of the journey, later).

Jane and I have 3 days left at the IHNFA childcare centre and then a touristy weekend here in La Esperanza and then we're off to Belize (via the Honduran capital Tegucigalpa where we stay over night on Monday). It will be quite different to what we've seen here and I think it will be a good time for a change (and less brain strain as we won't need any Spanish in Belize :) ).
