The trip to Lake Yojoa

The trip went very smooth. Not one problem, but one small error in judgement. We thought we were entering a national park but ended up going up a mountain that really didn't have much of a road. Just goes to show a person can learn something new every day! The Lake is naturally positioned amidst the mountains and from what I have read was created from volcanic activity centuries ago. Lake Yojoa(Lago Yojoa) is the largest freshwater lake in the country of Honduras. The area is really scenic. Lush colors of green and the colors of blue of the lake. Wonderful contrast. Along the road that runs from San Pedro Sula you see roadside stands where the local residents sell fresh fish ,pineapples,bananas, and many other varieties of fresh fruit. What a beautiful area to leisurly visit. A fish dinner averages around 5.00 dollars and that includes fried plaintains too. Economical and very tasty!Anyone that travels to Honduras should consider a day here because it's just what the doctor ordered for relaxing and unwinding. The roads are good and reasonally marked and there gas stations along the way with sandwiches if you are not a seafood person.
