Copan: Day 7

Hey folks! My laptop crashed last night, so I wasn't able to update the blog--sorry! My hard drive is having some issues connecting to the computer, probably due to the humidity. Fortunately, the problem seems to go away if it sits for a few hours, but it can come back unpredictably. I will do my best!

For now, it is working, so a blogging we will go. Today we had our pool party at another nearby hotel, which was a blast (despite the rain). We also discovered a mutual love of Arrested Development at lunch, which led to a screening of Season 1 in the lounge later that night. It was quite the adventure. The DVD player in the lounge didn't recognize the DVD, so we opted to use a laptop instead. But, the sound wasn't loud enough to overcome the pouring rain outside, so we ended up ripping the audio from a couple episodes, uploading the files to an iPod, and playing the sound through an iPod speaker system simultaneously with the video on the laptop. Where there is a will, there's a way! The timing was a little off, and it was still a little hard to hear, but it worked and the golden goodness of Arrested Development was enjoyed by all.

Anyway, no pictures from today, but I still have a few from the first day that, for whatever reason, weren't published.

Here's a good look inside my room: a little fuzzy, I know, but the only was to capture the cozy feeling was without the flash.

This is the courtyard, which we haven't been able to use much due to the rain.

A view of the restaurant where we eat most of our meals. You can't see from this picture, but to the left would be the courtyard sans wall in between. Wherever you are, you still feel like you are outside. It makes for a really enjoyable atmosphere.

The marker out front: Don Udo's! Udo is this crazy Dutch man, but he takes good care of us.



Today, we might go visit Macaw Mountain which is a bird park 6 minutes from here. If we go, I'll be sure to post the pictures! Until then, have a great day. Miss you all!
