So I am finally here. 12 hours and a half of travel. First of all, after the cancellation of my flight last night, they did not give me proper tickets so I had to explain myself everytime at security checkpoints, immigration, flight boarding etc. So a trip with one stop turned out to be a trip with three stops. From LAX to Guatemala City to San Salvador and then Tegucigalpa. I enjoyed being in the Guatemala airport mostly. It was recently built and everybody was proud of it. I waited for four hours and so had time to look around. Right infront of the airport was Guatemala City, and (unfortunately I did not learn this until after take off) right behind it you could see a big mountain that looked like a volcano. I will have to find out its name. I met a few people while travelling. There was Doctor Alex who was returning to Honduras from Cuba. I met him on my way to Tegucigalpa from El Salvador. I asked about Cuba and he was more than willing to share his experiences with me. He is finishing his doctorate and will practice in Panama shortly. I also met Jeff who was coming from Australia and landing in Guatemala City to teach Guatemalans on proper care of horses and cattle. So, I am finally here in Tegucigalpa. Its too late to see much so I cannot give any impressions yet. The view is great from the hotel. I will have to see tomorrow what is infront of me
