Isla Roatan

Your first question will most likely be where? The majority of people I have told about Isla Roatan have no idea where it is, and they usually react by saying "Isla where?" So for those of you who don't know Roatan is a small Island off Honduras and it has a population of about 30,000 people.

We began our day by finding a great taxi driver Arturo who took us where ever we wanted for the whole day. We started off by going to the monkey farm.

Dave and Caleb loved the monkeys!

Jessica didn't like the monkeys very much....which was pretty funny because they seemed to like her the best (or her water bottle). When we first walked into their cage the closest monkey launched itself onto Jessica's back, giving her a little bit of a fright.

There were also great birds that would sit on your shoulder.

I was pretty proud of myself because as many of you know I'm a big woos....usually I wouldn't go in the cages. But this time I let a monkey sit on me and a bird.....I'm getting pretty daring in my old age.

There were also deer, how cute is it?

This is the view I saw for a lot of our trip, I'm a slow walker.

A sweet looking church.

The picture at the top of this post was our second major stop while we were on the island. Once again we got away from the crowds and tried to actually see the real Roatan, not just the sterilized cruise version.

We just relaxed by the water and in the water. I also got a massage from a local woman for $10, it was pretty amazing.

One big thing I noticed in Roatan was all the pepsi advertising, it was everywhere!
