We arrived at Cedeño and I parked my car in a shady spot beneath a tree, not too far from the beach. After taking a dip in the ocean, we sat in the car with the doors open in order to get a better cross breeze. We had also purchased some snacks and cool drinks and were enjoying the scenery and listening to the radio.  Full Article

NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED

Travel & Tourism in HondurasFor many years the foreign permanent residents of Roatan petitioned the Honduran government to improve police protection for themselves and their families. When an ex-patriot was the victim of a crime, they found it utterly impossible to convey the situation to local police. Most of the problem was due to the language barrier but also, to some degree, the resentment factor, or so these residents thought. By Don Pearly



Paso a Paso por Copán

Jorge Flores Maclellan
Special to Honduras This Week

Honduran CultureThe city of Copán, in western Honduras, is the “mystery capital” of the ancient Maya world. The enigmatic Estelas (statues) and hieroglyphics, created in its elegant and unique, highly stylized fashion, have fascinated and amazed visitors and scholars for hundreds of years, ever since the Spanish Conquistadores first discovered them. This is because there is more in Copan than tall pyramids in the jungle. The millenary History is written on its walls. Full Book Review
