This weekend I got to take a trip to Tela, Honduras. Tela is an ocean front town on the Carribean sea. It is well known for tourism. From San Pedro Sula we boarded a bus at the terminal headed to the city. Buses can be a little confusing here. There are buses like our city […]

Zizima is a water park located in San pedro sula.   I would compare it to Silverwood in the Northwest region of the United States. Entry for adults was 220 lempiras about 9$ Usd. Thats a big price difference. Children are 100 lempiras. Upon entry to the park you will find clean restrooms and lockers. The […]

    Over the weekend a few of us local teachers decided to stay over night in San pedro sula, Honduras. We had wanted to get an early start at the local water park on Saturday. Mr Andy from an english teaching school in Cofradia booked rooms for 11 of us at Hostal la Hamaca. […]

What can be said about my personal love affair with Priest lake? As Idaho’s crowning gem it’s become a habit to visit. I’ve done a lot of trails in this area, kayaked it quite a bit too. From islands to private beaches, miles of travel or a short walk to camp in the woods. However […]

At some point last year I became interested in the Kettle Crest trail. Mainly because it was so close to home. The maps and stats for this trail are harder to find, and I was on a mission. The only interactive map we found that worked was on the All Trails app. This is one […]
