Most of the people here are a mixture of Mexican, Indian, Spanish and Black.
Language is mostly Spanish, and religion is primarily Catholic.
Agriculture is the 2nd largest export...and bananas figure prominently.
...in fact...the term Banana Republic was coined here...
50% of the country's residents are below poverty level. As in many of these Central American countries we have already seen there are vast differences in income...divided sharply between the very wealthy and very poor. A middle class being almost nonexistent.
Population is in excess of 10 million.
Crime is rampant and rates a 3 in tourism (scale means rethink or avoid area) as theft, kidnapping and/or murder is prevalent.
Soups and fruits/vegetables compose a great deal of the diet here.
Meats are added sparingly to rice or soups. Usually chicken or fish.
Despite the warnings...they are trying to establish more tourism here and there is great natural beauty.
...besides...this is virtual...so we are fine...
Come along for our Honduras Adventure!
