Olancho, Honduras

Just wanted to share some photos of our weekend trip to Olancho.  It is a beautiful part of Honduras (it is the equivalent of a state) and the air is so clean.  Unlike Tegus, where you have about 1.2 million people living and the pollution is pretty bad.  We stayed at the ranch of the Chief of Defense and had a wonderful time.  Ken and I had a tour of this amazing ranch with over 2,000 beef cows, milk cows and horses and every other farm animal you can imagine.  The area is not overly populated but the economy is real good b/c everyone is into farming.  Although you still have to be careful b/c you never know if you come upon someone with a machete.  Ken ran with one of the Honduran Lt's with an armed escort and came upon a bull being butchered in the middle of the town square.............I would have loved to have taken photos of that :)  As you can see, Ken was playing cowboy.  The horses are absolutely beautiful and very well trained.  The family was wonderful to us and we enjoyed some very good food!!!!!!!  The vice prime minister came by for a visit too - pretty cool when you can arrive to your destination by helicopter.
