Traveling With Kids… Honduras Part 3 of 3
H
We can’t help but be impacted by experiences outside of our home country’s borders. By exposing kids to other cultures and different ways of life we give them opportunities to learn empathy, compassion, resilience, and to be open minded and kind hearted. Plus, they’ll have some good stories to boot.

Colorful Copan…Honduras part 2 of 3
We bid farewell to the Rio Negro mountains and start the two hour trip back to Comayagua. After resting up a night at Hotel Casagrande, we tackle the six hour, winding, bumpy ride from Comayagua to Copan, Honduras. The ride was filled (as were several barf bags) with intense motion sickness. Was it worth it? You bet! (The kids may disagree…)

Teenagers take our beds!
The day started with confidence as we assured ourselves that we we will have no problem obtaining beds at the the Monastery of San Xulián de Samo, an active Benedictine monastery in Samos, Galicia, Spain. Upon striking up a conversation with a teenage pilgrim, we discover that the group of 100 or so teenagers passing by are taking ALL of the beds in Samos and more. Plan B is immediately put into action and we start hiking to Sarria. The plus side of Plan B is having son-in-law Tony join us in Sarria today rather than meeting up with him tomorrow.

Camino Finisterre: The End of the World
Here is the link to my YouTube playlist which consists of three videos culminating our Camino experience as we tackled the Camino Finisterre. Buen Camino!
This was my first experience editing with Final Cut Pro and I see many YouTube tutorials in my future. Experience with Imovie was helpful but I have a long ways to go to be considered proficient in Final Cut Pro. Audio voice-overs were recorded with a H1N1 recorder.
The tiny, lightweight DJI Pocket 2 is a great travel camera. I brought along the ND filters but didn’t use them as I stuck to auto settings since the lens wouldn’t go in the case when I shut the camera off with a filter on. The filters were also too fiddly when switching back and forth for quick shots and I was afraid of losing or damaging them. Oh well, another time.
Much to my dismay, the filters seem to have been lost in transit so I guess there won’t be another time. Oh, well… things happen.
