@Sofia: Visiting small, rural towns are such a nice contrast to the big cities. It’s the laid back feel and also the interactions with people that make these visits a lot of fun.

@Jennifer: We really loved Antigua’s market as well – so colorful. Brings back good memories. If you return to Antigua again, you should go back to the market and keep walking back – there’s a whole food section after the artsy stuff. We actually have a couple of panoramas from that market as well…maybe I should pull them out.

@Phyllis: Love the comparison between La Esperanza and parts of New Mexico – I can definitely see the similarities. We also found Hondurans to be quite friendly and welcoming to us. Hope you get a chance to visit again soon.

@Sarah: So right – urban areas are so different than this. Glad the feel and spirit of the place came through with the panorama.

@Sonya: Thanks! A large portion of our panoramas are from markets, so keep checking back for more!

@Allie: Spending a couple of months outside of La Esperanza must have been quite an experience. Hope this panorama brought back good memories.

This is great! I actually spent two months in a small village outside of La Esperanza called Santa Catarina back in 2004, I had a partial memory block of my time in La Esperanza until now… thanks for sharing!

I’m in love with your Panorama series. This stunning one is so evocative of life at a weekly market.

These r the type of shot, you can’t see at a urban city here. I would love to visit and hopefully get shots like this. You always do amazing job on Panorama. The feeling and emotion of the place really stand out through ur shots

When I see this picture it reminds me a little of my home state, New Mexico – blue sky, dusty streets, lots of people at a small town event – especially the cowboy hats and pick up trucks!
I used to work for a company where I traveled to factories in Honduras….really a wonderful people. Everyone we worked with were kind and pleasant to be around. Hope to get back someday.

Oh I LOVE it! The first of its kind I have experienced was in Antigua, Guatemala. There wasn’t a whole lot of fruit but more artsy things (and goat heads). Thanks for sharing and bringing back some of my own (limited compared to yours) travels! Happy Anniversary, again! (BTW, I loved reading the Italy posts)

Seems like a great place, it’s so much fun visiting small town markets – you always find the strangest things, and the friendly, laid back vibe is just amazing!
