Christie's Arrival!

Today, Elizabeth and I arrived at the bus terminal and waited for Christie to arrive from the airport. We hugged and giggled and then ate breakfast with her and this other really nice guy named David who is Honduran, lives in Los Angeles, but is visiting a sick uncle. We all then boarded a bus to the border, passed through the easiest migration checkpoint I’ve ever been through (the two countries’ offices weren’t separated by kilometers, meaning no taxi rides!), and rode a ways more to Copán. Here we ate, found a hostel, and are now catching up on communications. We’ll visit the Mayan ruins tomorrow (supposedly the Paris of the mayan world, while Tikal in Guatemala is the New York), after a nice 3 hour horse-back ride. We’ll then head to the beach and bum around awhile until sufficiently burned (just kidding, mom).

Here these two silly girls are trying to squeeze into the ATM booth because it is air-conditioned and it is sweltering hot in Honduras! More fun times ahead...
