Hey, what country was that? Oh, Honduras.

Wednesday, December 14th, 2005

We visited Copan, which is just over the border in Honduras. So, the Spanish conquistadors came to the new world, saw these amazing Maya cities full of beautiful sculptures like those in Copan, and thought, “Hey, these folks need some decimating.” With apologies to my Spanish friends. Copan is known for its unparalleled stelae like this one. They have a magnificent museum, too. Closed for renovations. I guess we will just come back next year when they have finished tidying up.

The rest of Honduras was ok. That would be with the exception of one waiter whose personality bore an uncanny resemblance to Lurch on tv´s The Addams Family.

Stela,...  Stela!
