Re: (...)
I have been reading about the 300 plus prisoners that died in the fire, The article mentioned that Honduras has the highest murder rate in the world. Rob, is this like Mexico? Drug cartels--mostly in the cities? Is travel safe? Are the police good cops--are you safe saying anything on line?

I've been wondering the same thing, Bill - What a catastrophe
Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.

I, too, was going to start this topic but held off because of Rob. I read the same thing you read, and it startled and concerned me. Frightening.

The last count I heard on the local news was 362. Very sad.
Lots of drugs and gangs - especially in Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula, but not as bad where I am.
Mostly, as with just about anywhere else, if you don't do anything stupid, you'll probably be okay. Don't go around wearing a lot of jewelry, don't walk through the streets late at night, etc., etc., etc.
If blueberry muffins have blueberries in them, what do vegan muffins have?

It's very sad. Be safe!
You only live once . . . but if you do it right once should be enough!

I can't imagine! Stay safe, my friend!
BTW, do I need to worry about my mom traveling to Guatemala next month?

Probably a lot depends on where your mom is staying, Daphne. Most resorts are gated and have security.

They'll be building two "houses" in the countryside. I'm not sure exactly where. It's a mission trip.
