One of the most popular music genres in Honduras is Punta. Punta is a lively and rhythmic style created by the Garfuna people. Some well-known Honduran artist are Aurelio Martinez, a famous Garifuna musician; Polache, who blends folk music with pop. The traditional dance of Honduras is called La Punta, which matches the energy of punta music. After listening to some Punta, the music seems to be uplifting and upbeat. The drums and the fast rhythm would make you want to dance as well. The dance is full of energy, and I can see why it's apart of the Honduran culture.

One of my favorite things about Honduras is the food and the scenery when just going outside. When I traveled to Honduras and stayed for three weeks, it was always magical to hear the monkeys in the early mornings in the jungle. Here in the US it won't ever compare to the mornings in Honduras, life is so surreal back in Honduras and more plain in the US. The beaches out there are beautiful and warm, the view is always breath taking and hard to forget. Although Honduras is a dangerous country the people are different then what others think, Honduras is a good country and a hard country to forget visiting. The US is also a great country but life isn't as exciting and beautiful like in Honduras.
