view from a bus

these are my first glimpses of Tegucigalpa, Honduras, the capital of the country and the largest city with 1.25 million people. my first experience with Tegucigalpa was just to drive through with a short stop for the bus to drop off and pick up more people. then i stayed over night as i was returning to Nicaragua. as happens with most of the capital cities of Central America, this is not one of the main tourist stops as people say it is rather ugly and quite dangerous. i found it to be very busy (with lots of people, cars and buses), a bit dirty and rather charming in a dirty-big city kind of way. of course that opinion is based on about 12 hours of experience so take it with a grain of salt.
