On the backpacker trail

Today we are taking off from Lago Atitlan to Copan, Honduras via the cramped backpacker shuttle. We travel along the windy and at times treacherous roads winding through countryside and the occasional towns. It's quite peaceful today. The sun is shinning, the views are phenomenal and the driver is playing the local music on the radio. It's such a good day that I am much more tolerant than usual of the frequent barrage of black smoke from the tailpipe of any and every motorized vehicle. I had my first hot shower in the last 4 days and that was wonderful. The small things that you take for granted can be quite rare here, but my appreciation for said shower has surpassed any of those tht I have had in my comfortable Ohio apartment. Little things are beginning to mean a lot :)
