Why Honduras?

This was the most popular question that we were asked, both by friends before we left, and by Hondurans during the trip. Our algorithm for determining the next destination is a function of the number of tourists (which can be inferred from guidebooks, the amount of material on the web, and the severity of US State Dept advisories), how nice the locals are, weather, vegetarian options, and to some degree traveling conditions. Honduras was a winner on most fronts.
