We are headed for the Guatemalan/Honduran Frontera El Florido (border) today. The highway improved considerably. The scenery was typical until we came over a hill and entered a mountainous area. Beautiful greenery with the road winding through the red rock mountain side. Just before before the border it rained on us for the first time since we left Texas. We pulled over to put on our rainsuits with a local family watching us curiously. While we were doing our paperwork at the border a group of Mexican BMW riders arrived. One cut in too close to our bike and side swiped our saddlebag with his. The alarm went and we went to investigate. The Mexican acted like nothing happened. Really just a few scratches so no issue made of it. He could of least said he was sorry but didn't. The paperwork went smooth with no banditos asking for money to process paper. It rained from the border to Copan Ruinas and we pulled into the first hotel we saw. There was a garage for the bike and the rooms were nice. Only $25 per night. It stopped raining right after we parked the bike so we went to the central square where we met a couple from Alaska. They are in Copan for 2 weeks living with a local family and taking Spanish lessons. Bought a local map and started planning our tours for the next day.
