Copán y Gracias: HONDURAS

Arrived in Honduras after crossing the border back to GUATEMALA from EL SALVADOR then on to Honduras. Arrived in the last archeological site in La Ruta Maya in Copán. Then we continued on to Gracias, a cute pueblo where they were inclined to say gracias alot. I also met the mayor!
