Semana Santa

Also in Copan.. this is on the street.. made of sawdust and then painted .. used for processions on Good Friday... the biggest holiday in Central America.. the days leading up to Easter.....
Denis - at the base of a Hierogrlyphic Stairway built between 711 and 736 BC by Ruler #15 known as Smoke Shell.. no joke!

More funny birds

Again, they are real.. and they don't talk.. but they are colorful... this was in Copan .. the site of ancient Mayan Ruins..

More from Honduras



From Copan - these are real birds.... and they have big claws....
