Copan: Part 1

Family vacation to the city of Copan the day after Christmas.  We rented a 15 passenger van to make the 8ish hour journey and stayed at hostel for 2 nights.  It was fun to walk around the busy downtown area, do a little shopping from local artisans and eat lots of great food.
 
Sam next to the statue of Morazon -- he tried to unite all the Central American countries.  Next is a very conspicuously taken picture of the commonly seen machine gun-clad guard.  He doesn't look too intimidating to me.
 
One of the most fun parts of our first day in Copan -- taking the mini taxis up a steep hill to a museum.  Wendy and Martin actually had to get out of theirs and help push it up the street!
Almost there...Whew -- we made it!
