Why did the horse cross the road?

Because the cow was on the other side. At least that’s how it looked to me as I was following Gary down a pothole filled road. The horse casually walked onto the road and crossed causing Gary to spend some brake energy. Lots of free range horses and cattle along the sides of the road today, but hey, this is Honduras.
We left Copan and rode 216 miles on some pretty rough roads. Guatemala is not the only Central American country plagued by landslides as you can see in the photo. The landslide covered the road and we had to divert to the left. One stretch of road was gravel and packed earth – about 15 miles and it took about an hour to pass through. Several towns we passed through had no pavement so the going was a bit rough with the close traffic and pedestrians. We finally ended the day’s ride on a very nice stretch of pavement. Tomorrow we should cross the border into Nicarauga. We look forward to some better roads. Gary wants to report that his MacGyver’ed fix on his GPS continues to work.
