After a four hour bus ride, our friend Fernando picked us up where the bus dropped us off. He told us he had a couple things planned for our day.
It was obvious we needed a little cocktail after that bus ride, so he took us to a little place called Tito Aguacate for a drink that translated to the word "cramps". He described them as a mixture of gin, some wine liqueur, sugar and lime being poured into mayonnaise jars (sin mayo), shaken up and served in a glass. They were phenomenal. After our drinks we went for a walk around the center of Teguc, and my only impression of this city was how gorgeous it was.
We went to Valle de Los Angeles for lunch, we had papusas, an El Salvadorian dish, a tortilla with cheese and pork baked into the center. After lunch, we walked around this little colonial town, bought a few too many souvenirs and had wine overlooking the mountains.
We then decided it was time to get to our hotel and get cleaned up for dinner and a friend of Fernando's birthday party. We were planning on staying in a hostel, until we decided to see if we could stay in a really nice "Classic Honduran" hotel for about the same price. This place was absolutely gorgeous.
We got ready and headed to a local restaurant, Había Una Ves, for dinner. We had fantastic salads and bruschetta and were ready for the night.
We went to a birthday party of one of his friends and could not have been more impressed. Not only was the house gorgeous, the people were amazing and so great and welcoming.
We woke up the next morning to our breakfast buffet and the pool overlooking the mountains. It was one of the best weekends I'd had in a long time.
