Finally the long awaited picture post. I went ahead and pulled out the best pictures of my 530 pictures. Enjoy!!
The modern town of Copan.
Macaws at the entrance to the ruins in Copan.
The symmetry in Copan was ridiculous! All the corners make a strait line, as do the edges.
Some of the glyphs at Copan.
Looking at some of the statues in the courtyard in Copan.
The central stage in Copan.
Looking through the trees down to the courtyard in Copan.
Copan.
The ball court in Copan.
The upper class housing in Copan.
The jaguar alter. Apparently they would sacrafice jaguars on this alter. Along the rim of this alter area depictions of all the kings that rulled over Copan.
An aligator or crocidile (which ever they have over there) head in Copan.
The central stage in Copan. The accoustics are amazing here. You can hear a clap from the top of that pyriamid anywhere in the courtyard.
Max saddling up for our horse ride in Copan.
Riding up to a village over looking the ruins.
Checking out the village above Copan.
Fabio was a little worried that there were snakes in the grass.
One of the many beautiful sunsets in Utila.
Utila
The Tree Tanic Bar in Utila. The whole place was a work of art!
All the previous pictures were the court yard under the bar, which is in a pirate ship in the trees. This is the actual bar.
The enterance to Tree Tanic. If you ever come across this sight, go in those doors. It is the coolest work of art I have ever seen.
Yours truly in Utila.

At the top of this small cascade in Semuc Champy there is a really cool limestone cave that we went caving in for an hour.

One of the pools at Semuc.
At Semuc the river goes under the terquoise pools. This is where the river goes under the ground.
