I was up early to take a wander around Copán Ruinas and if the truth be told, if you did more than two laps of the Parque Central in 10 minutes, you’d be considered a local. There are a few side streets containing several hotels, small businesses and homes, but you’ll find the place to be more of a village in stature than a town.
The towns primary aim appears to be supporting and servicing the tourist trade visiting the adjacent Mayan Ruins, which we were done visiting by noon and for those of you who are interested - we ended up wandering over to the local cold stone ice creamery where Cookie Monster ice cream was my lunch of choice.
Mid-afternoon saw all the “avocados” trundle off to some hot springs for spa treatments, mud masks and a meal, which to me was about as appealing as ex-foliating oneself with a cheese grater.
I decided to finish off David Baldacci’s new Amos Decker series book – Redemption, then head back over to Carnitas Nía Lola for a Happy Hour(s) or three and another pretty decent nosebag.
