Copan

Mike did a little traveling for his work last week. Here are some pictures from his adventures. Mike, feel free to add anything you'd like :)At Mike's hotel room in Tela.

View from the room.

Random guy peeing on the side of the road (taken on the way to Copan).

Hanging out in the city of Copan.

More of Copan.

Mike at the hot springs. Don't ask me what the mud camouflage is about... but he looks very intimidating, doesn't he? :)

More of the hot springs with a cool little waterfall.

Dave and Mike.

They saw these birds randomly sitting on a fence in the wild. Aren't them amazing? Mike said seeing them flying off in formation was incredible.

Hanging out with friends at dinner.

Here's Mike at the Mayan ruins of Copan. Some of the structures here date back to 1000 BC. This site is known as the most artistically advanced and elaborate of all the Maya cities.

A Copan Stela made honorary OSI agent (notice the oversized clown-sized badge Mike gets to carry around with him)

Mike in front of another Monolithic Mayan Stela.

More of the ruins... check out the guy on the bottom left. Not very subtle, is he?

Mike sitting in his dream car.

Back at the base now. This little rooster is the office mascot. Each agent that deploys down there feeds him so he sticks around.

And here's a pictures of Mike's sweet new guitar. He's trying to learn some new songs while he's down there.

Anna, it was so great to talk to you the other night!!! I miss all of you and hope you have a great time between now and then. Mike, loved the Peter Pan check in on our blog, love even more that it was 100% Mike Connelly. Reminded me of a certain crazy night in Rome when I think you may have drugged my husband but for the record I did not show you guys what Anna thought I did!
