Roatan, Honduras

 

We decided to plan a beach day in

Honduras, rather than doing an

excursion.  When we got off the ship

we found a large bus taxi that provided

us with a tour guide for the day.

 Our tour guides name was Lorna Doone and she

has never heard about the cookies with the same 

name.  We got her address and my mom is going to 

send her a package or two of Lorna Doone Cookies.

I think she will love them.  What's not to
love.  Anyway, she took us to the most

 beautiful beach.  We fell in love with this local

boy, Elvis.  He would blow these conch shells and 

make it look so easy.  So far, none of us can do it

as well as he could.  He also sold us some seahorse

skeletons.  Ty took his to school for show-and-tell 

and the seahorse was a big hit.

 The water was crystal clear and the perfect

temperature.  While I held Libby in the water

until she fell asleep, the rest of the gang went

snorkeling.  I have a HUGE fear of fish thanks

to my mother and my 8 yr. old experience being

attacked by fish in Hawaii while my mom giggled 

and fed those same killer fish bread!  

I was traumatized, I tell you!!!

 This picture is of Lorna Doone's house

and the 'grocery store' right next to it.

As you can see by her house, they were

all brightly painted and really cute.  The

ocean was straight across the street from it.

Now that is ocean front property!

 We really enjoyed a day of being lazy on 

the beach there.  Glad we 'took the day off'.

 

Although, no one enjoyed it there as much as 

my dad did.  $50 for an hour massage....

 

 right on the beach!  Can't beat that!

We loved Roatan, Honduras!
