Ruta Lenca

People who have visited Honduras and will talk of the Bay Islands lifestyle, or the famous ruins near Copán. I agree that, in terms of tourism, they are indeed the undisputed heavyweight champions, yet there is much more to this diverse Central American nation than sun, sea, and statues.

After a month of exploration in El Salvador, we began to hanker for the relative creature comforts afforded by the Central American Gringo Trail. From the Salvadoran border town of Perquín, we planned to cross into Honduras and head directly to Copán – a distance totaling 160 miles. We would pass through Marcala, Gracias, Santa Rosa de Copán, and La Entrada en route, and arrive at the final destination the following morning – in time for a generous portion of yoghurt and granola, a breakfast option solely available in tourist hotspots.

Susan Bruno Travels to Copan

There are a few people in the world who grab hold of life and truly make a difference. Mother Teresa was one of them, and Susan Bruno might be next in line.

Amidst the stormy days of early January, Bruno, a West Shore resident who has been following the work of Mother Teresa for nearly a decade, boarded a twin engine piper airplane set for Santa Rosa de Copan, Honduras. With her were Incline Village pilot Rob Lober and Dr. Ed Weiss and Dr. Judi Foy from the High Sierra Chapter of Flying Doctors, a nonprofit organization that flies more than a dozen missions a year to administer free medical and dental care.
