Hello Friends and Family!
We are writing to you from a small internet cafe in Copan, Honduras. Each of us have settled into our homestay families here in the city, and are healthy and happy.

Throughout our trip we will be posting more updates as often as we can; electiricty is a luxury and not always reliable here. We are thinking of 
you all, and carry you with us on our travels.
