Taulabe caves - Honduras

On our attempts to tour Honduras went to Taulabe Caves. Taulabe Caves was a perfect family day trip this past weekend.  It was about an hour's drive from Comayagua for us to get to, but well worth it.  It was $4 per adult and $0.50 per child, our 4 year old was free.  This price included a private tour guide.  For $4 more you can take the extreme tour and crawl through other areas.





If you look closely at this picture you can see the formation near the back that they call "the fountain".






Here is a youtube video I found that shows you a lot about the area we were in.

Hooch living

Here is the hooch we've been living in the last few weeks at Soto Cano air base in Honduras on our "family vacation".   Soto Cano air base is right outside Comayagua.  Atleast it's not a tent!


We have a nice front porch covered in termites!



Our glamorous bedroom.













We walk to these bathrooms. There is hot water and flushing toilets.

Comayagua Cathedral in Central Park - Honduras

Comayagua, Honduras is the home to multiple historic places and full of Spanish architecture.  On our Honduras family adventure the place we are living is just outside of Comayagua.  We went to the pitiful mall and then to this beautiful plaza.

Pictured here is the Comayagua Cathedral, built during the colonial era in Honduras. It was inaugurated on December 8, 1711.

Restaurante Casa Colonial by Ricardo - Comayagua, Honduras

Restaurante Casa Colonial (Colonial House Restaurant) Also know as Ricardo's is located in the Central Park of Comayagua, Honduras, next to the cathedral.  We got the chance to eat there on our family trip into the town.


According to my husband this is the best restuarant in Comayagua.  I think most people would agree.  It is a great place filled with art and antiques.  This is the front room of the Ricardo's.




We sat in the middle room.  It had a romantic fill to it.  Behind this room is a large outdoor patio and clean restrooms.  There was no AC inside, so next time we will sit outside.



Pictured here are what they called Enchiladas.  We would call them tostados or chalupas.  These enchilades were phenomenal.  Probably they best thing we ordered!



These are the tacos, also very good.



I got the typical plate "Plato tipico".  It came with plantains covered in cream, rice, grilled steak, cheese, beans, and salso.  It was good.



The jalapeno steak with rice, potatoes, and beans.  The grilled potatoes were the second best thing on any of our plates.  I don't know what they season them with, but they were excellent.
