Our neighborhood in Tegucigalpa via Google Earth
A map I downloaded and modified from Google earth. What a cool program! The map of Tegucigalpa is a bit out of date, but what fun to identify places in this crazy maze of a city.

Hiking into dark cave in La Tigra
The entire hiking group of ten adults and children took off into this cave up in La Tigra National Park. I like the way the light glowed eerily behind us.
