I made a reservation for the morning sunrise tour in Copan. Pick-up time was around 4:50am-5:00am. I little bit of info about myself, I am not a morning person. It takes me a while to wake up and waking up at 4 is crazy! At that time I was still in SF time zone, so that means 4am was actually 2am for me. I woke up extremely late and didn't make it. The tour guide was kind enough to let me come the following day. I promised myself that I will wake up and I sure do hope that its all worth it!.... Despite of the 3.5hrs hike and waking up early, the view was spectacular! Loved it... and yes, it was definitely worth it :-)
Another photo of Copan Ruins
A view from one of the villages. My driver was kind enough to stop and let me take some amazing shots.
Here's also a photo from that village... I just don't remember which one it is but the village is about 25mins away from Copan Ruins.
Meet Milagros, my ceramic teacher. She doesn't speak english so it was quite difficult for me to understand. Good thing it was all visual, so no need to speak. lol
One of Milagros' grandson. I believe he's 10yrs old. I took this shot while he was working. Just told him to act natural but he just won't stop smiling. lol I don't know if you can see it, but this kid is carrying a machete around! like omg! Its quite scary cause his horse is big and he puts his machete behind him, accidents can happen but I hope nothing as crazy as I imagine it to be.
Another adorable grandson of Milagros. He's much more camera shy compare to the kid above.
Group photo.
Though these people from the village may not have everything, they seem to be happy and content with their lives, just like the photo below. I met him while I was taking photos of the mountains. He told me that he usually wakes up early in the morning to see the morning sunrise. It was such an awesome bonding when him, my tour guide, and I were just looking at this breathtaking view of Copan.
Much love,
Jen
