Thanks to Wilmer for the wonderful swap.



HONDURAS - Aerial View of San Fernando De Omoa Fortress

The second card from Wilmer shows the Fort of San Fernando of Camoa.


"The fort of San Fernando of Camoa - it was the largest fort in the region and it guarded one of the most important ports in the Caribbean. The fort of San Fernando was built between 1745 and 1778, using slave labour. The fort housed a garrison of 365 Spanish soldiers and was equipped with enough cannons to effectively repell naval attacks from the bay."

HONDURAS - Santa Lucia, Near Tegucigalpa

A new country in my mailbox today.  Country #122 is from Honduras.  Thank you Cesar for the great cards and stamps.

Cesar wrote in his card that Santa Lucia is a former mining center located a few kilometers away from capital city Tegucigalpa.  It is also called the city of flower, a beautiful lagoon at the entrance of the city makes it a very special place to take a walk.
