Home
No matter how humble, there is no place like home. Copan Ruinas, Honduras; Guatemala; the beaches of Cancun on the Caribbean; the beaches of Merida, Yucatan on the Gulf of Mexico; the thousand-year-old stupendous stone buildings and pyramids my ancestors constructed to build their many magnificent cities; and all the colorful, intricate artisanry redolent of ancient culture created by beautiful people, my people, resurrected in me a pride that I realized anchors my presence to those first ancestors who rose from the middle American jungles over 3,000 years ago to build a far-flung, highly stratified civilization. I am already planning another journey next spring to visit the ancient Mayan sites of Tikal and Palenque, this one to be entirely overland without a daily itinerary to hinder my movements. I discovered on my recent travels that the freedom allowed to me by choosing my bus rides whenever lets me linger, wherever. And at the end of the road, I come home to La Paz, Honduras. I will post a few pictures after I wind down, for I am expecting a contingent of PCVs from the La Paz area to gather on my rooftop tomorrow for a Fourth of July barbeque.

Hello Fortunato!
My name is Alyssa Cudmore and I am with a group called Cycles of Change (http://cyclesofchange.wordpress.com/). We are headed through Central America on a bike tour while teaching Sustainable Agriculture workshops as we go through. I see that you are serving in Honduras, and I was wondering if you had any use for a group of 8 sustainable agriculture experts, or perhaps a project you have been dying to do? If not- do you know of any farming cooperatives/organizations/other present peace corps volunteers in the area that you would recommend and we could meet up with? I cannot thank you enough Fortunato, and I am looking forward to hearing from you! My email address is aacudmore@gmail.com

Best,
Fortunato
