Well we have arrived in Honduras! It was quite a journey to get here…2 full days of travelling…uber, buses, airports, planes and 4x4 SUV….

Our last journey from San Pedro Sula to Copán Ruinas included a stop for lunch where we got to try the local especiale…a baleado… is a traditional Honduran dish, believed to have originated on the northern coast of the country. It is composed of a flour tortilla, filled with a smear of mashed refried red beans (a variety of bean native to Central and South America), crema (mantequilla blanca), and crumbled queso duro(salty hard cheese). This is usually called baleada sencilla (simple baleada). Other ingredients may include scrambled eggs, avocados, meat, or plantains.

Today we are heading to The Mayan Ruin site for a guided tour. The site is a pleasant 15 minute walk from town….

Copán was occupied for more than two thousand years, from the Early Preclassic period to the Postclassic. The city developed a distinctive sculptural style within the tradition of the lowland Maya, perhaps to emphasize the Maya ethnicity of the city's rulers.

There was a large group of scarlet Macaws at the ruins…
