Trip to Honduras

Question

I'm going to try to post some photos here of a trip I took to Honduras over the holidays. I went with my son's youth group, and we visited/helped at a feeding center, orphanage, and women's shelter. Tenía muchos oportunidades para practicar Español, y la gente fue bastante simpatica para ayudarme.

Hola Jennivee, I just fixed your post, you can't post a video on here like that, so, it just came up as a bunch of letters, so I deleted them for you, if you want to put the video you could post it somewhere and put a link. :) - hlsbookworm, ENE 11, 2010

Answer 1

The political situation seems stabilized, however we did not visit Tegucigalpa the capital where I hear it was the worst. It is my understanding that Zelaya is hiding out in the Brazilian embassy and will be taken promptly to prison if he tries to leave. It's an intriguing story. I think safety would depend largely on where you travel and using common sense. I felt safe in the hotels, but I would not have felt comfortable, say, jogging on my own to choruses of "gringa"! jaja I was surprised at how modern it was in San Pedro Sula and in La Ceiba, even though obviously they do not have the infastructure, waste water departments, and plumbing I've grown accustomed to in the US. You still can't flush the toilet paper, even in the Pizza Hut. The lichas are ripe though, and I would love to go back when I could make some time for hiking along waterfalls in those gorgeous mountains!

Thanks for your reply. I just check the company intranet, and trips to Honduras are now permitted with some restrictions, not to travel to Tegucigalpa. - Shrek, ENE 12, 2010

Wonderful pictures. Question, how did you perceived the political situation at Honduras? I've been postponing a trip to Honduras since last november due to the same.
