I did work nearby at the Airbase. It gave me a different perspective on the people. They are industrious, hard working and welcome a chance to learn. Being very warm and friendly they are the natural attraction of Honduras, more so than all the sights and lush vegetation. They don't mind if you don't speak the language well especially if you are trying. I intend to return to Comayagua this January and learn more about the city and the people. Also to claim my bride.

The neighborhoods of Comayagua are made up of colonial-styled houses stacked next to each other. They are quite pretty and quaint, a refreshing sight from the concrete skyscrapers and apartment buildings. Many of the houses are more than a hundred years old and some are falling apart from neglect and age. The most taken care of are near or around the center of the town. In all the neighborhoods live wonderful people who grew up around each and so know each other like family members. Everybody knows each other and if the town is small enough like Comayagua, everybody knows everyone that lives in town. Everybody is a contribution to the community, keeping the wonderful traditions alive that are unique to Comayagua. Don't be afraid to approach the natives (however watch out for thives) for help or information, anyone would be more than willing to help you out. Have fun and soak in the atmosphere.

Underneath the buzz and bustle of the ever-growing Comayagua are roots embedded so deeply on its soil that no matter where one of its native is the are always with them. For example, the love of soccer is in every citizen of Honduras. When I was a child I dreaded Sundays because every Sunday the television is dominated by whatever teams are playing. This still is a tradition, sacred in the whole nation so expect deserted streets and deadly quiet towns. Either people are indoors watching the games or out of town enjoying a relaxing day. On Sunday every single store closes by 12:00 a.m. I recommend that on Sundays take advantage of the surounding area to go sightseeing or visit Lago Yohoa where people love to go on the weekends to go eat the delicious seafood or enjoy the beautiful scenery and the refreshing breeze coming from the lake. However, watch out for the roads because they are hazardous since it encircles the mountains.
