Copan Honduras

I travelled from Largo de Yojoa to San Pedru Sula which hosts the main bus station and it took two hours then from the main bus station to Copan where the famous ruins were (4 hours). The town is so beautiful, the streets are cobblestone, there are out door markets and it has a beautiful city center. I went for dinner at a pizza place and there I met an older man who used to play in a band. We jammed on his guitar and then the Canucks game came on. The score was not in the favour of the Canucks but it is always nice to be able to catch a game when I can, makes me feel like home is not so far off. It has been a little scary travelling without a guide book and only random internet searches available for information but I have been really lucky so far, everything seems to be working out fairly well and I am making the most of my time. Ruins tomorrow and a little more site seeing then off to Gutemala for some more Spanish!

I switched hostels to a place called Via Via as I got my private room and better internet, it also has a bar and restaurant. After the rude people at the other hostel last  night coming into the door at 3am wasted loud and turning on the lights I needed a good night sleep. After some town site seeing and grocery shopping I headed to the Famous Copan Maya Ruins. It was absolutely breath taking, the restoration was so good and there were not many tourists crowding up the place. I was able to see the statues, museum and ruin site, it took 3 and a half hours. I also got a sneak peek of the tunnels that you were supposed to pay an extra 12$ for by pretending to be a lost tourists who doesn’t understand any Spanish. At the ruins I ran into some other Canadian boys who I had met in Nicaragua, it is always nice to run into people from Canada and of course have some people to talk to on my adventures.
