We gave Kyle as a sacrifice the the Mayan Gods

This past Friday we skipped out on our work and headed to Copan. Copan is a city in the north of Honduras that is home to an ancient Mayan city. Early Friday morning (4:30) we left our house on the ranch and headed to Choluteca where we caught a bus to Tegus. In Tegus we got on another bus that took us to San Pedro Sula, where we got on yet another bus that took us to Copan, where we arrived at 9:30 at night. The bus rides, while extremely long, were a lot of fun. The realization between the U.S. and Honduras truly hit me during this bus ride. On one of the bus rides they served bags of potato chips. I was sitting on the very back row of the bus, and therefore got my bag of chips last. When the chips got to me there was only one bag left, I grabbed it and did not think anything of it. When I was about to open it, however, I realized that it had already been opened and had been re-sealed shut with packing tape. Normally this would detour me from eating the chips inside, however, I was pretty hungry, and Loren bet me I would not eat them, so I ate them anyway.
Copan is a very fun city to visit. The actual town of Copan is a very lively little town, filled with tourists from around the globe. There are many good restaurants to eat at, and lots of hand made goods that you can haggle the price over with the locals. Saturday morning we went to the ruins just outside of the city, and it was an awesome sight. It is amazing to see buildings built by people from so long ago, and with such an interesting history. Our tour guide, Saul, made it a very fun experience for all of us with his depth of knowledge of the Mayan people. Copan is definitely a place I would suggest visiting and a place I would like to go back to.
