Back to Copan

Up early, like 6:50 or something. Dad was up at 5 recording the sounds of the morning.

Breakfast was at 8, porridge and pancakes with fruit and honey.

Carlos came and picked is up for the drive back to Copan. It's his sisters birthday today in San Pedro Sula and there were no tours today, so he was going to go there.

We went back to La Posada De Belssy and booked a room. Headed to ViaVia for lunch and got more info on the trip to Leon tomorrow. The shuttle drops us off at ViaVia in Leon, which is perfect, smack dab in the of backpacker central in Leon.

Spent the afternoon on the rooftop patio doing journal updates and watching the storm clouds build up. Around 5:00 or 5:30, before the storm hit, the power went out. Then the storm hit. Lots of lightning, thunder, pouring rain. Amazing stuff.

Around 6:30, the streets were dark. A few places were lit up with generator power and we went in search of a German brew pub that Carlos told us about, but couldn't find it. It probably had no power anyway.

Since we got to Honduras, dad has been fascinated with a fast food joint called Super Pollo Express. He's been wanting to try it, so I relented and we went there for supper. We both had menu 9, two pieces of chicken, fries, drink and gross coleslaw for 66 lempira each. Essentially KFC.

Power was still out when we finished, everything was dark, we headed back to the room.
