Border Crossing

In Honduras
Crossed the border into Honduras at Copan last Wednesday, no problems there, it costs 10Q to leave Guatemala and $3 to enter Honduras. We stayed at the Via Via Hotel in Copan($14) very nice place. You get 2 beds private bath free water, great food there also. The town of Copan is also quite nice very small and even though it’s right by the ruins it doesn’t seem that touristy.

The Literal High Point

Got back yesterday from my hike up Tajumulco with Quetzaltrekkers. They are a volunteer organization that offers backpacking trips throughout the Guatemalan Highlands (www.quetzaltrekkers.com) to help raise money for Escuela de la Calle, a Xela based organization for at risk youth. They provide all gear, food, transportation, and guides.
