I went to Honduras.
Edit: reordered the photos and added more information so things are little more sensible. Also, Pam took some of these photos but I forget which ones exactly.
The Lord’s handiwork:
Chicharrones:
Entering Tegucigalpa, the capital:
This tree was massive:
Another massive tree, in a rotary. One of the branches needed its own pole to support it:
Tegucigalpa, night versus day. The street you see going diagonal into the center of the photo is one of the city’s main arteries, Boulevard Morazán:
The new embassy building:
These next photos are from Valle de Ángeles.
Pupusas. They were my favorite Honduran dish:
Horse butts:
I got Pam at the right time, with the .5 zoom “lens”:
Pam and I, in front of one of the large trees:
At one of the trail’s summits. The air was windy and wonderful. Video at the end of the post:
Me, at the mouth of one of the mining caves, dressed like a grandma on a tropical vacation:
Inside the cave:
Lake Yojoa in Comayagua:
Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Comayagua:
We were able to get into the bell tower section of the cathedral. A guard let us in and I’m kinda surprised he just let us roam around by ourselves. Here’re the guts of the cathedral’s clock, the oldest clock in the Americas:
From the topmost floor of the tower, you can really see the stone pattern in the courtyard, which forms a “shadow” of the cathedral itself:
The steep and narrow stairs:
Here’s a juggler at a traffic light:
A band was playing below the parking garage of one of my Airbnbs:
At one of the trail summits at La Tigra. It really felt like another world:
Some local flavor:

Impressive collection, Jay. You did a good job on those. The last video reminds me: In every video I’ve seen of Latin American cities, there is always a rat’s nest of wires and cables everywhere. Only India is worse. I suspect it’s because they don’t have monopolies on whatever the cables carry.
