PICS FROM EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN HONDURAS
I did a little 2-hour journey into extreme southwestern Honduras, including the town of Nuevo Ocotepeque (referred locally as just Ocotepeque). The area was quite similar to El Salvador, vegetatively, geologically and with the people...

Just north of the El Salvador-Honduras border, along Central American Highway 4...



A fig (Ficus) along the highway...



Downtown Ocotepeque...



Menu in Ocotepeque (basically a mix of Central American food)...



Honduran license plate...



Most of Ocotepeque was rustic, like this (with a good view of the mountains)...



The view of Cerro El Pital (on the El Salvador-Honduras border) from Ocotepeque...



Nice (non-native) African tulip tree in bloom...



Park near the center of Ocotepeque...



A mystery/mysterious vine (do you know the species?) in Ocotepeque...



Another view...
