Friday

I am sorry I did not write more over the weekend, it was a whirlwind tour (we were very busy)! We left Comayagua at 6am Friday morning and rode on a bus for what seemed like the entire day! We stopped along the way to see many neat things, one of which was a coffee plant, and were able to see how they make coffee.

After that we arrived in Copan just before dinner. Compared to Comayagya, Copan is a much more touristy city and there is more money in the city. It was a beautiful place.

On Saturday we went to the Mayan Ruins site and spent the morning learning about the history of Copan and Honduras. It was fascinating!

Both Friday and Saturday nights we ate at local place with delicious food and great entertainment!

Saturday afternoon we were able to go horseback riding into the mountains and see the city of Copan from up high. I felt bad as many of our horses had ribs and hips poking out, they sure could have used some more food! The best part of the ride was that 4 of the 8 children we brought with us chose to horseback ride, so we were able to share this experience with them!

By Sunday we were winding down and starting to focus on coming home. We had another 4 hour bus ride to San Pedro Sula to get to the airport. This took up our day Sunday. When we arrived at the air port we found out that our flight was delayed an hour and we would not make it to our connection in Miami :( So, here we are Shelly, Nick, Karla and I sitting by a pool in Miami hoping we will get a seat on the flight tonight at 8pm.

While we all wish we were home and able to get organized and share our amazing trip with everyone, we are enjoying some sun and glad to be in Miami instead of some city where we'd have nothing to do (without a car).

I plan on posting some more this week to share some of the more emotional and special moments of this trip, so check back again!
