Honduras Recap - Day 3 (Transportation Edition)

I'm beginning to realize that I won't be able to recap each day I was in Honduras in a single post. I took a ton of pictures! So, I will instead have several posts to recap one day....so without further delay - here's some photos from Day 3. We had two main modes of transportation from the complex where we stayed to the site where the church was being built. It was a pretty treacherous route - up and down mountains, over rocky terrain, around numerous curves. It took us about an hour each day (one way) to go roughly 10 miles.
Here's one of the vehicles - it's called a "Rhino" (it's kinda like a glorified golf cart with a LOT of horsepower).
Here's a view from along the road in the Rhino
Our other mode of transportation was a pick-up truck with a railing system installed in the back. This is apparently a very "Honduran" way to travel as we passed several trucks like this along the road (although the ones we passed usually with about 20 more people piled into the back and hanging on the sides, etc...) Whether rain or shine, this was the transportation.....we had many rainy days too....

I love the contrast of the last two pics! Riding in the back of the truck in the sunshine with the beautiful mountains in view followed by in the rainshower with only sheets of rain in view. And the interesting part is that both scenarios happened daily!
