The State Department on Monday warned U.S. citizens to avoid all nonessential travel to Honduras due to the “current unstable political and security situation” there.
Noting the ouster on Sunday by the Honduran military of President Manuel Zelaya, the department in a statement late Monday also recommended that American citizens residing in and visiting Honduras remain close to their homes or hotels “unless their travel is of a life or death nature,” or for a scheduled departure from Honduras. It urged U.S. citizens to restrict travel within the country to necessary trips.
t said the U.S. Embassy has restricted the travel of its staff within Honduras to necessary trips.
“There have been regular demonstrations at the presidential palace in central Tegucigalpa, and streets in the vicinity of many government offices are blocked by police or military,” the statement said. “In general, the streets of Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula are quiet. Reports from the rest of the country indicate that calm prevails, although there have been cases of occasional roadblocks.”

Even though its sad that the world has come to not even being able to travel freely without being scared for your life, U.S. citizens have great destinations in their own country they can visit.
I don;t think that U.S people are in any danger there except to get into the wrong crossfire if somehting more breaks out.. there are still alot of places they can visit or relax or ven live if they so choose that are just as safe as any other neighbor hood
