Not sure if either of these works: http://www.pbase.com/tinamanley/image/141610489 http://www.pbase.com/tinamanley/image/141610530 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.
