An old Spanish fort on the
Caribbean coast, Omoa was a refuge from pirates and dastardly British during
the 1700s. It was used as Honduras' main prison for a time, but today serves
its purpose as a great place to run and play!! Overlooking a pretty typical
small village (with the requisite whitewashed church), it is now an extremely
family-friendly outing highly recommended by us. It is located about an
hour or so north of San Pedro Sula, and we made a visit there over Thanksgiving
weekend. Alea and Breck had a blast runnnoing around, climbing on the cannon,
and looking over the walls. It was a warm day, but the overcast weather
kept things reasonable, and we enjoyed playing there and then going to
the beach for lunch and a swim. Those pictures aren't developed yet, though,
so these will have to do! |
