Copan 2011

From Livingston, I went by boat and bus to Copan. I came to Copan in Honduras to go to the Copan Ruinas. About Copan

I met a musician called Oscar Polio, whom was playing on the street one day, I really liked his music a lot, so talked to him afterwards and brought a CD.  Here is his My Space He also did healing treatments with sound and massage, so I booked one in. After all this physicality I had put my body through on my Guatemalan experience, I thought it only fitting to treat myself.  He played the didgeridoo at one stage, channelling over the body.  It was very powerful and he gave me information at the time.  The house and garden where he lived with his partner, was really lovely.  Oscar Polio playing flute

He had a friend whom he introduced me to, whom was selling turquoise necklaces that he had made himself, it seems he sits on the street all day every day.  I brought one for my father, as they were all individual.

I walked to the Copan Ruinas on my last day, as this is why I had crossed the border to Copan.  It is very close to the town.  And on this day a guide was at the entrance, I don’t always take guides, but this one was spot on.

Noted in Copan: The locals absolutely love their soap operas on the tele.  The locals in the town, the men wear big cowboy hats.
