From Lake Atitlan to Copan, Honduras
The last pics I posted were from the beginning of our Caravan tour, starting in Guatemala City, hitting a market in Chichicastenango, and ending up by Lake Atitlan. Now that things have settled back into a routine, I’ll post some more pics. Today’s show the trip from Lake Atitlan to Copan, Honduras. It was a memorable bus ride, due to our getting stuck in the mud at a road construction stop and having to be towed out by a construction vehicle. And, of course, Copan is beautiful. At each stop, Stacey and I probably took 200 pictures… but I don’t think anyone wants to wade through all of them! So we’re just posting some of our favorites. As always, you can find out more at Stacey’s blog and photo page. She’s being much more thorough than I am.
