Travel Essay: A Londoner stuck in the rainforest, Part 1
Kat Linger
Honduras This Week
Photo: Kat Linger/Honduras This Week
Young girl in Brus Lagoon, La Moskitia stands in the shade of her home.
 Presented with the opportunity of a guided trip into the Honduran rainforest in your second week in the country, you feel pretty lucky. Especially when all the natives around you are saying that they’ve never been themselves. That’s a chance you can’t pass up, right? So, I said ‘yes.’ I paid the rather large fee for the two tiny planes it took me to get there from Tegus and I packed my bags with everything I imagined I’d possibly need in the rainforest: bug spray and extra strong bug spray, a mosquito net, bite cream – there’s a theme here – bottled water, chocolate biscuits, malaria tablets, diarrhea tablets, headache tablets, multivitamins, plasters, sunblock, long-sleeved shirts, salt sachets for the leeches – obviously – ‘sensible shoes’, a big, waterproof raincoat, my camera and lots and lots of freezer bags to keep everything dry.Full Article

“Supporting our own, Honduras is stronger”
Yohanna Baez
Honduras This Week
Meliton Castillo is the liaison for many things: he is one of the spokespersons for the Honduran Advice in the Social Sector of the Economy (CODESSE), Association of Producers of Artisans of Pine Leaves San Cristobal (APRAHPISC) and he owns a micro-lending company. ¨What I’ve done is help the artisans get exposed. They are very humble people with the majority of the artisans being woman, ¨ Castillo said. Full Article
Clarification from the French embassy
French Embassy
In response to statements made by the Honorable Patricia Rodas, President of the Central Executive Office of the Liberal Party (CCEPL), the French Embassy in Honduras wishes to clarify the following:
The journalists who reported that the president of France, Nicolas Sarkozy, was drunk at the end of an interview with Russian president Vladimir Putin, have since retracted their statement, having admitted that it was false, and have also publicly apologized.
For the record, President Sarkozy does not drink alcohol, during presidential duties nor in private.
Reiterating its friendship and respect to Madame Rodas and to Minister Milton Jimenez Puerto, the Embassy of France categorically confirms that this reference to the French president is erroneous and should not have been verbalized.
Corruption: Special Report
Don Pearly
Honduras This Week
If there is one word that explains why third world countries may always remain third world countries, that word might well be “corruption.” Corruption takes the form of many things such as the acceptance by a lonely and bored traffic policeman of a small amount of money to put away his ticket book, all the way up to a guilty as sin murderer being cut loose to go have a good laugh in a bar.

Message from the mountain: FARC rebels release hostages
James W. Bodden
Honduras This Week
James W. Bodden/Honduras This Week
FARC rebels released long-held hostages last week.
 “The Colombian insurgency has given us the coordinates from the mountains of Colombia…” The words of Venezuela’s president Hugo Chavez set in motion a chain of events that catalyzed the departure of two Venezuelan helicopters from the town of Villavicencio, fifty miles south of Bogotá. The pilots lifted off with no pre-arranged flight plan; the secret coordinates identifying the location of two hostages in the jungle deep were only disclosed as the helicopters took flight. The hostage hand over was veiled by the thick vegetation of inhospitable, guerrilla-controlled territory. It was a secret event; precautions are necessary for the embattled insurgents, their military adversaries are always watching. Hours later in Caracas, Mr. Chavez declared the operation complete and successful, anointing the hostages new life after captivity, “I told tem, ’Welcome to life, welcome to life.’” Full Article
Danli’s elusive cigar factories provide a worthy pilgrimage

Freshly rolled cigars at Alianza sit ready for their next destination: the U.S. or Spain.
Recently, two determined English girls decided to live up to their sweet, dedicated natures by going to the rather unconventional Honduran tourist destination of Danli; their mission: to purchase Danli’s number one export, cigars, as souvenirs for loved ones back home on the British Isle.

Comayagua Golf Club: Golf, Swim, Celebrate & Sleep

CGC Manager Gustavo Suazo ready to chauffeur guests in one the club's electric golf carts.
The dirt road winding its way on the outskirts of Comayagua is rocky and rough, but the effort used to drive may well be worth it. This particular road leads to the Comayagua Golf Club (CGC), hidden behind cement walls and steel doors with only its logo giving those who approach a hint of what lies beyond.Full Article
Shopping in Copán Ruinas and other small, mid-sized towns and large cities in Honduras has always been a hit or miss proposition - either they have what you are looking for, or they don’t. Small town, rural Honduras has historically been dominated by the ubiquitous neighborhood ‘pulperia ‘ as they are called. Sometimes no bigger than a closet or as big as a small New York City pharmacy, they are convenient, close and usually stock the basic necessities of everyday life: aspirin, soft drinks, candy, meat, cheese, bread, eggs, milk, veggies, matches, machetes , you get the idea. By Howard Rosenzweig
Political Torture
 During the month of December, politicians presented a project to the National Congress, a project they called electoral reforms. The majority of the Congress passed the reforms. A minority of 25 congressmen/women belonging to the five political parties rejected the reforms, claiming they were “unpatriotic.” Full Article
