After 2 great flights, we arrived in San Pedro Sula airport around 4pm. We had a little over an hour of waiting in lines in Immigration at the airport that was very hot with no air conditioner.
This was the first sign that Welcomed us to Honduras....
We found our 16 suitcases and got them all onto a wheeled cart, but there were dozens of Hondurans there to "help" us. Despite telling them many times that we didn't need "help" they pretended not to hear and we had to tip them all $2 each. Our friend, Mark Patterson was there to pick us up as well as a friend of his with a pick up truck. We put Aslan and our luggage in the pick up and the rest of us piled into Mark's Expedition. We were about to discover some of the WILDEST driving we have ever experienced!! (Not our friend...grin...the Honduran way of driving...which is basically anarchy!)
Here is a picture of San Pedro Sula Airport.....not very big.
We drove 2 1/2 hrs to Siguatepeque where we stayed at a Christian seminary called MEDA. There was an area outside Siguatepeque where construction would almost always stop traffic for 30 minutes. While stopped, dozens of people come up to your cars trying to sell things
