Honduras Cup of Excellence 2006 San Pedro SulaWinning farm list at the bottom of this page. Page 1 | Page 2 | Page 3 |

Shade trees of oakwood, mahogany, liquidamber, cedar. |
Fresh bronze tips on pacamara, which is supposed to be green tipped. Pacamara is not an entirely stable cultivar, and can revert to the appearance of pacas or maragogype, but these cherries seemed to be pacamara in shape and character. |
Again, in a coffee forest |
Transparent butterfly wings |
Juan, the captain of the farm, and his pacamara |
Thompson, visitor, amazed at the shade canopy - the hillside in the back appears to be native forest but in fact is fully planted in coffee too. |
The brothers, Munir and Raul. They export coffee, and own the Cinnabon franchise for Salvador and Guatemala. |
Joe Hsu from Taiwan. |
Another map view |
Roberto Salazar and Raul with an Ihcafe truck. Raul owns a fine farm in Ocotopeque |
Roadside refreshment along the dirt road, Las Floras, Yoro |
Ihcafe farm identification, Tegucigalpita, named in diminutive form after the capital of Honduras |
Typical house |
Typical agricultural practice; burning is easier than slashing. |
Busted, sort of. we were stopped on the dirt road for reasons I could not figure out. |
Looking for I dunno what |
We were smuggling Japanese coffee buyers, I guess. Maruyama emerges. |
Yamada-san takes aim. Twas no big deal. |
Parting shot: Filip ready to swing for the stands |
At the Mercado Gumailito, a odd mixture of foodstuffs and utilitarian goods ... |
... and places de tourismo. If you have a hankering to get online while puffing a stogie, pounding a latte, and on a whim call up the folks in the states, this is the place! |
I could not figure out where this arrow pointed too; are there cigars and coffee laid out on the sidewalk? |
More practical stuff at Guamilito. There are quite a few shops that buy big bags of dog food and sell them in small bags. Hmmm... reminds me of something. |
The tourist goods at guamilito include lots of love for Honduras, or the more neutral 'I was in Honduras" or the very occasional and totally off-base clown-oriented artwork. |
A favorite of mine that I coudn't fit in the luggage. I don't think maria will be too heartbroken. |
