Men in Hats, Honduras

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

Copan Village, Honduras, originally uploaded by peggydaly.

It may look simple, but honduran men are pretty particular about the way they wear the 3 critical pieces of their wardrobe: hat, collared-shirt, jeans. they are quite proud of any flourishes they can add like a carefully wide-open collar or rolled-up jeans.

A Little Planning

Friday, February 15th, 2008

While here I will also try to do a little trajectory planning. In a month I need to be in Antigua, guatelmala for semana santa. I had wanted to see most of Guatemala before this, leaving me a month for Chiapas and the Yucatan before I head back.

The moskito coast intrigues me and I think it would be worth it. In fact, Lago de Yojoa is on the way to the coast so maybe I can leave that for later, too. I must admit I never thought I’d be crossing broad swaths of a county off my itinerary! But knowing that I do not like to rush from one town to another I think this is best.
