Two Women Wandering the World
The San Cristobal fort looms above the town of Gracias in the Lempira district of western Honduras, where we stayed for a few days after Copan Ruinas
The fort was built in 1863 to help defend Honduras from invasions
View from the fort toward the Celaque National Park and the highest peak in Honduras, the 9,400 foot Cerro Las Minas
One of the oldest churches in Honduras, the Iglesia La Merced, which was built in the early 1600s
The view over Gracias from the Hotel Guancascos, where we stayed. The name of the town supposedly comes from the Spanish conquistador who explored this area. He said "thank God" when his party found some flat land in this mountainous region.
Many streets in town and the central plaza were torn up for repaving when we visited
