The morning came rather early as our departure was for 6 am but the fund raiser last night aka street party went on and on.............in true Central American style: very loud and noisy!!!!! The four of us were out on the calle with our packs and had time to find a coffee. The schuttle was a little tardy and we left about 6:45. We went through San Salvador City and up to the Guatemala boarder, via Sante Anna and on to Copan arriving without incident around 1ish. It is warm of course and we have found a wonderful little hotel La Pasada de Belssy. Complete with free WIFI, hot water and a small pool we are tucked in for a few days at $16.00 per night. We have new money to understand too called lempiras, 20 of which equal a US dollar. Life is good. We have already figured out the best place for happy hour where the boys will enjoy 2 rums for 35 LLs.
We had a really tasty fajitta at Via Via, owned by a trio of friendly Belgians offering great food, live music and wonderful local art.................the coolest place to meet apparently. We shall see and let you know.
The next few days will include a tour to the ruins, a bird sanctuary and whatever else we can find. Talk to you later.

Hola - so glad you are going to see the fabulous Copan ruins...we would love to return for more exploration and to enjoy Copan Ruinas. Our Spanish classes are going well here in La Paz, and we are enjoying reading about everyone's adventures while we conjugate our 'verbos'. Cheers, Carol and Kelly
