A few days back in Tegucigalpa

So after Lima I spent a few days back in Tegucigalpa visiting friends. It was nice to be back but I was still ready to get home. Its amazing how much of central america is still so far behind the rest of latin america. I spent a day in National Park "La Tigra" about an hour out of Teguc, stayed in a small town called Rosario or La Mina, its an old silver and gold mining camp. Mos of the buildings are old woode structures left after the mine was abandoned. Its also the site of the first telegraph and electricity of the whole country. Only a few hundred live there now but at the peak of the mine there were over 5000. It was an american mining company using it but they only brought in the essentials. A bar and a bowling alley being two of the things they couldn't live without. So after 5 days or so it was time to fly back from home, unfotuntely the first flight of my 3 flight itinerary was cancelled so I spent the next day and a half waiting in lines and for Taca employees to figure out what the best thing to do with me was. After standing around for about 6 hours in New York they finally just gave me 50 bucks to catch a bus down to Atlantic City and home. Dumb suckers didn't know it was only gonna cost 40.
