Nicaragua-Honduras Border Crossing @ Las Manos

There were surprisingly low levels of bureaucracy; they were happy to admit us and we were happy to have arrived!

Mayan Ruins of Copán with Meowzer

We’re heading to Copán in northwest Honduras to see one of the great cities of Mayan civilization!

Not many other travelers, just transport truck drivers vying for the attention of the Customs agents. Naturally, we got by using our apologetic Canadian nature and our elbows when needed.
