Roatan





We are back online after a week with-out internet. We are on Roatan which is one of the Bay Islands off of Honduras. Our first few days were a bit cloudy and rainy, but it has been sunny skies ever since! Roatan is a huge island for divers and snorkelers and although we have done a lot of snorkeling, we have yet to go on a dive.
The water here is bright blue and very warm. There aren't any waves, so the kids are having a blast, too. The hotel down the road from our rental house had a saltwater pool and a bar to watch the sunset, so we sat there a couple of nights. Poor Jason really wanted a night out, but after the 2 friends he met left, he had to head home. I'm sure he didn't think he would be at the bar with Lena and Jade before they were 18, but welcome to our vacation!! The girls were actually preoccupied with the deer that lived at the place. One had just had a baby 2 days earlier so they got to see it up close. Everyday since then all the girls want to do is buy vegetables ... for the deer, not us...
As we have just been hanging around the beautiful beaches, there is not much to tell.
We have rented a car for a couple of days, so hopefully there still won't be much to tell tomorrow...
