Fuck you Honduras

I'm not sure why we're all so cranky about Honduras, but we've hated it pretty much since we set foot in it. The border was shadier than the others, and we felt like we were getting really dicked over. We got here, and while tired, we figured we'd visit the ruins today and get it over with, and go straight on to the capital tomorrow early, and maybe even get ourselves to Managua in Nicaragua and skip Honduras pretty much completely. We are very glad for that decision now. The ruins at Copan were completely unimpressive, and felt as though we were on a mini golf course in comparision to the wonder of Tikal and the jungle surrounding it. We forgot bug spray and got eaten alive the whole time we were there. We took a nature trail hike on the way back and got totally turned around. We came to a fork in the road, and I stupidly suggested we listen to Beyonce and go "to the left, to the left". We got lost in the woods and got eaten alive by mozzies. We ended up having to walk through mud and most likely manure in order to get back to the trail and the exit. We just had lunch, which was not as good as any food we had in Guatemala, and we're sending out some more post cards before going back to shower. Our room has its own shower, which is pretty amazing, and we look forward to not smelling like Honduras in a few hours. Until then, we're going to wander this city with men following you, asking if you need a hotel every 10 seconds.

We're just a little cranky.
