Utila Island

Keith and Don made it over the border this morning. They spent the night between the two borders with a bunch of idling semi trucks and a guard in the front seat. The Earth Roamer has a Nav. system that will play DVDs. So the guard sat there watching Will Farrel movies with the Spanish subtitles turned and his pistol in his lap. People came around the car all night to check in out. In this relaxing atmosphere, Don and Keith got no sleep.

We went to the Maya ruins of |Copan. It's said if Tikal is teh New York of teh MAya than Copan is it's Paris. The cravings are much more detailed. There the trees were left growing on the ruins. The thought is if the trees were removed it would damage the temples too much. So you get the temples with hoger trees growing out of them, their roots twisted in amoungs the stones.



The next day, Keith and Don headed off for Utila island. I stayed behind to get the cars serviced and then joined them in the afternoon. Utila is a small island of the coast of Honduras. The people here are betting against global warming as the island has a total attitude of three feet. The plan is to film |Whale shark, teh biggest fish in the sea.
