Around town

03.10.2014

Well, I was supposed to go to the famous Mayan ruins on Saturday with one of my crazy students, but on Friday she looked terrible and really sick, so I figured we wouldn't go. Of course, on Saturday, I had no word from her and to me, it was too late to go somewhere else, so I just stayed in town for the weekend again.

I woke up this morning with the first mission of printing out my Lonely Planet chapter on Western Honduras. This took approximately two hours at the local internet cafe/print shop, so I didn't really get going until about noon. I wandered around looking for the big tobacco and coffee factories and I found them, but they aren't open to visitors on weekends.

While I was at the bottom of the hill, I did some grocery shopping at the Honduran sort of Wal-Mart place and then marched right up to the very top of the hill to see the view. There is not much of a view anymore, but it was still nice and quiet and I sat there for a while pondering what would happen next weekend. I will probably head to Gracias to visit the hot springs.
