backroads of honduras, and a nice mountain town

15 buses and 2 pickup trucks, and the rarely visited Honduran backroads...

Left sweet but touristy Copán Ruinas in the early morn, but long after the other occupants in my room left to catch their respective even earlier buses.

Santa Rosa de Copan was boring, and my money ran out in Gracias which was sin ATM. Gracias, Gracias. Quiere go to THANK YOU? the kid on the bus asked me.

The guy at the bank pointed at the photo on my passport and pointed at my face. Oh god, here we go again. El foto hace diez años, sir. Yes, I was young and blonde once. Grabbed my money and hopped on first truck I saw to the next town.

I was probably the first tourist in San Manuel de Colohete for a long time. The locals were extremely friendly and welcoming... so I stopped and rested and smiled.
