Well, we arrived in Honduras without incident! For the first time in our travelling experience in Central America, we didn't get lost! Amazing! We drove into Ruinas Copan around 3 in the afternoon only to discover that all the hotels in town were booked because of the Independence Day holidays. It never occured to me that Honduras, along with Guatemala and all the other Central American countries, all received their independence at the same time. I was a little discouraged, but as always, the Lord provided. We met a guide who said, "I know of a hotel that has space." Now that can be a scary thing in this neck of the woods, but this time, it was a blessing. We landed up in a b
eautiful hotel with a swimming pool! It is called Buena Vista - beautiful view - and it lives up to its name.

The purpose of our trip is to get our tourist visas renewed, and because the price to do it in Guatemala has gone up so much, we decided to actually travel out of the country to get the renewal rather than just pay for it. I am so glad we did.
Today we went to the Mayan ruins just out of town. Wow! What an extensive community and interesting culture. We spent a few hours just 
walking around, up and over, and through these pretty incredible structures built back in the 8th century before Christ! Talk about history!

Tomorrow we are hoping to go horseback riding...okay, Hope is hoping to go horseback riding and the rest of us are hoping to survive the experience! Aparently there are some natural hotsprings and waterfalls about a 1 hour ride into the mountains. I am sure it will be memorable...both for my backside and for the experience!
Blessings,
