...where we explored Tegucigalpa, and a museum with lots of neat art. We stayed at the Hotel Honduras Maya. Nice place.

Police, ready to march (look in the shadows in front of the white building).

Parque Central, Tegucigalpa. A favorite place to read gloom-and-doom aloud (the guy in the plaid shirt).

Hanging out in the park.

The modern monstrosity on stilts is the Congreso Nacional. The ugly box next to it is Banco Central de Honduras. I'll at least give the modern monstrosity points for creativity.

Just a normal photo of Congreso Nacional and Banco Central de Honduras.

This, I think, is a university behind Congreso Nacional. It might be offices for Congress though.

Still lots of Tegucigalpa out there.

But we're tired now (we just went through the museum). This pretty river on the way back to the hotel....smelled of sewage.

Very large Coca-Cola sign in Tegucigalpa. For scale, note the two storey house at the bottom left of the C in Coca.
