Today was a day of travel. We awoke early and were surprised to find that all of Honduras was on strike. The Ranch has a policy of closing down shuttles in and out whenever there is a strike, so we were left with the choice of finding our own way to town or staying on the Ranch for another day. After consulting Dilcia, we decided to bus it from the Ranch to Tegus and get a cab from the bus stop to the terminal. It turns out, this was a good decision.
Our Hedman-Alas bus was really nice. This busline, which does a lot of cross-country travel in Honduras and Guatemala is the Cadillac of Honduran buslines. The trip took us back to San Pedro Sula and then on to Copan. We left at 1:30PM and FINALLY arrived in Copan around 9:30PM. It was definitely a long trip, but thankfully the bus was comfortable.
Tomorrow we head into the ruins and will try to get some zip-line action in. I've taken about 100 pictures so far and hopefully will get at least that tomorrow. The little Canon S750 has been wonderful. It has a digital macro feature which works VERY well. A few of my more artsy-fartsy pictures are here. FYI, the 2GB card I've got supposedly will hold 600 pictures. I'm hoping to fill the thing up, but it'll be tough.
