Honduras: Macaw Mountain

Two of my roommates from college (and a 'plus one') came down this month to visit for eight days and we spent one long weekend in Copan, Honduras. There truly is nothing quite like a couple of girls whom you shared limited square footage with for four years to keep you laughing at everything life throws at you. :) Thanks for coming down, Emilie, Charity and Tim!

One of the coolest things we did (besides make S'MORES!) was go up to Macaw Mountain. It is a coffee farm / nature reserve / bird rescue-refuge. The owner has been collecting exotic birds from the black market, pet stores and other inappropriate situations that these birds (that really aren't pets) have found themselves in. He built this ten acre reserve for them, and most of them still have to live in aviaries (although at least in a natural setting) because of being semi-domesticated, or having their wings clipped and whatnot.
