PESO:

I was trying to show the contrast between the barrio and the Basilica.  Not
sure if either of these works:

Here is the latest on the Basilica:
"The U.S. Embassy in Tegucigalpa informs U.S. citizens residing in or
visiting Honduras that the Ambassador has restricted travel by official
Americans and their families to the Basilica of Suyapa, located in
Tegucigalpa. The Basilica of Suyapa (also known as Suyapa Church or
Cathedral) is a popular tourist destination, but is situated in a high
crime area and has been the site of numerous armed robberies and thefts.
Official Americans are only allowed to visit the Basilica of Suyapa with an
organized tour group which provides armed security for the group while at
the Basilica."

It wasn't that dangerous in 1994.  I wandered all over this neighborhood by
myself, carrying all of my camera equipment.  Don't think I'd do that today
:-(

Kodachrome, M6, 35/1.4

C&C greatly appreciated.
