Honduran Style

Hondurans got style.  No denying.  From mohawks, to machetes, to cool boots; we gots it.

I really enjoy my Honduran friends with machetes.  Especially in the more rural areas, machetes are carried by almost all adult males.  It's sort of like a pocket knife / shovel / crowbar all rolled into one.  

"Leaving for the day, honey?  Don't forget your machete!"

Anyways, I like it and wish I could pull it off myself.  One interesting thing about it though is how elaborate their sheaths are.  Lots are carried loose but some have heavily tasseled, leather affairs.  I'll admire them on the long bus rides or spy them on my moto adventures.  Not sure what the rationale is but oh well.

But leather sheaths aren't all we do down here.  My boys are all over the Hunter boots craze that has been driving girls crazy up north.  Interesting contrast.

Incidentally this is where I buy my breakfast in the morning.  36 lempiras ($2), not bad.
