The oldest known evidence of human presence in present-day Honduras are stone knives, scrapers and other tools thought to be 6000 to 8000 years old, and uncovered by archaeologists in 1962 near La Esperanza, Intibucá. Central America’s earliest occupants almost certainly were Paleo-Indians from the north, but linguistic and other evidence suggests that many indigenous people present in Honduras today (Pech, Tawahka and probably Lenca) are descended from later migrations of people from rainforest regions of South America, especially present-day Colombia.
The Maya arrived in Honduras by way of Guatemala and Mexico, and settled in the fertile Sula, Copán and Comayagua valleys. Over centuries, they came to dominate the area, as they did much of Mesoamerica. Copán was a heavily settled, agriculturally rich trading zone and eventually became one of the great Maya city-states of the Classic Period (AD 300–900).
The Classic Period ends with the rapid and mysterious collapse of most Maya centers, including Copán, where the last dated hieroglyph is from AD 800.

The Maya population declined precipitously, but did not disappear, of course. They were just one of many indigenous groups that made up Honduras’ native population when European explorers began their conquest of the American mainland.
Copán has since returned to prominence as an archaeological mother lode, having more hieroglyphic inscriptions and stone monuments than any other Maya ruin. Copán was the first site visited by John Lloyd Stephens and Frederick Catherwood on their groundbreaking exploration of Mesoamerica in 1839.
It was also the first site to be studied by Alfred Mausley (in 1885), whose compendium of Maya stone monuments remains a classic in the field, and whose work prompted the preeminent Harvard Peabody Museum to enter into Maya investigation (and which in turn selected Copán as its inaugural excavation). And it was the first stop for Sylvanus Morley and the Carnegie Institute in the 1920s.
More recently, research has focused on Copán’s outlying areas; the site has provided important insight into the lives of ordinary Classic-era Mayas.

Like its neighbors, Honduras is experiencing tremendous changes: an expanding tourist economy (cruise ships in Roatan?!), a maturing political scene, and the whole globalization thing, including maquilas, free trade agreements – heck, even implementing Daylight Savings Time for the second time.
Honduras remains deeply entrenched in a two-front war against gangs and HIV/AIDS.
Illegal logging is emerging as another major concern (do you know where that new mahogany chest came from?) and a key issue among Honduras’ growing environmental community.
Even so, most Hondurans you'll meet are very laid back and, while not disinterested, certainly disinclined to make much to-do over politics and world affairs. And aside from the people-pull, nature has its own drawcards here in Honduras. Parque Nacional Jeannette Kawas offers up white-sand beaches, great snorkelling and howler monkeys galore and Lago de Yojoa in Honduras' lake region has world-class bird-watching, waterfalls and outstanding national parks. Backpackers love Utila for its cheap eats, great accommodation and terrific diving.
Honduras today is a place of change, too fast for those who’d like the country to remain ‘undiscovered’, too slow for those frustrated by persistent remnants of the ‘Banana Republic’ days, whether in undue foreign influence or lax enforcement of environmental laws. Hondurans themselves take it all in their stride, and travelers with an open mind and a bit of Spanish will find many fascinating conversations in store.
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons in Honduras may face legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents.
Both male and female same-sex sexual activity is legal in Honduras, but same-sex couples and households headed by same-sex couples are not eligible for the same legal protections available to opposite-sex married couples.
Both same sex marriages and adoption by same-sex couples have been constitutionally banned since 2005.
No national legislation exists to address discrimination or harassment on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.
Reports suggest that law enforcement often engages in or tolerates abuse. As many suggest 200 Honduras people may have been killed because of their real or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity between 1993–2003.
International human rights organizations have stated that LGBT people have been targeted by the military government for harassment, abuse and murder.
Walter Trochez, a Honduran political activist and LGBT rights leader, was allegedly assassinated by members of the anti-Zelaya regime for organizing dissent against the new government.
Although adult prostitution is legal and relatively widespread, the law prohibits promoting or facilitating for purposes of prostitution. Women are trafficked for sexual exploitation and debt bondage... Trafficking in children for commercial sexual exploitation and child prostitution is a problem...
The country is principally a source and transit country for women and children trafficked for the purpose of commercial sexual exploitation. Women and children were trafficked to the USA, Belize, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, and also internally, most often from rural to urban settings. Most foreign victims trafficked into Honduras came from neighbouring countries. During the past years the government has returned dozens of trafficking victims from Mexico and Guatemala. In the Tegucigalpa metropolitan area, an estimated several hundred children were victims of commercial sexual exploitation just this year.
Gangs, organized crime, and human smugglers were reportedly among the principal traffickers for purposes of commercial sexual exploitation. There were reports that families sold their daughters for purposes of trafficking.
It wouldn't be my first choice as to where to live or work, but our sisters there seemed pretty content.
They met us at the airport and we took a taxi to their place in Tegucigalpa, I think the taxi driver was a little surprised at our drop off location, LOL.
They had opened a massage parlour and were doing good business, a 50- 50% split between tourists and locals. As there are only a few Orientals around they are in pretty high demand and their schedule is full.
Sex with Nuns is a big fetish in much of Latin America, especially young pretty ones (and you probably will, or not be surprised who a lot of regulars are).
Of course their not in their "Habits" most of the time or with most customers.
As far as staying clean, Happy had no doubts or suspicions so that was good.
Any way it was good to see them again and to see that they were doing well.
Being 2 of our few straight girls obviously meant separate rooms as they don't like to watch lesbian sex and had seen enough of it at the "convent".
Well it's their house their rules, so no problem for us. Anyway it meant Happy and me could spend more time together.
Happy is a skilful and attentive lover who never has a problem giving me multiple orgasms (and as you know, that's not easy for me) over very prolonged periods of time.
Probably as skilful, if not mores so than me at tantric sex
It's no wonder that she is the main/ lead instructor for this at the Convent.
Having checked on our girls, we decided to explore a bit.
So we headed over to the Bay Islands and they to our pleasant surprise were really nice. Nothing nude unfortunately (that we found) but the beaches are good and the people friendly.
So certainly turned some heads making out together on the beach, I don't think they see a lot of Lesbian couples there, let alone Chinese ones.
Overall Honduras was a ok place, some interesting stuff to see, like the Mayan ruins and the beaches, but finding good Chinese food or even the ingredients is nearly impossible and you know how picky Happy is about her food.
As far as the local LGBT scene, we never found it, but to be honest we didn't look that hard.
Time to pack, off to our next stop Belize......
