Leon, Nicaragua to San Pedro Sula, Honduras (map it!)

Wowsers! We have just completed a travel day that rivals my 36 hour train trips in India! Beginning at 5am this morning, we woke up and got a taxi to the bus station in Leon (read: the side of the street by a gas station) and caught the 7 hour TicaBus to Tegucigalpa. The border crossing went smoothly, with the international bus company all but holding our hands through the border. The bus was air conditioned and quite luxorious, but with the front windows blocked out we began to get a bit motion sick by the end since we could only see out the side. Alas, we finally made it to Tegoose. Unfortunatley, we made it about 15 minutes too late to catch a bus to Santa Rosa de Copan and instead are having to layover tonight in San Pedro Sula -- a city we had hoped to visit only once on our flight out!

The bus here from Tegoose was another 5 miserable and long hours. Exhausted, we found the closest restaurant to our hostel. At least the rooms are clean! Tomorrow we will be getting out ASAP and leaving on the first bus possible (7am) for Copan Ruinas (the one major Mayan site in Honduras) and spending the rest of the trip there before flying out.

The one thing I was most excited for on the whole trip, I cannot wait to arrive! Cannot wait to tell y´all about it! Chao!
