roatan

yesterday we got back from roatan. it was a great trip, and a fabulous way to relax for a few days. the island was gorgeous, and had a definite caribbean island feel, even though it's officially a part of honduras. the official language was english, which made it seem very much like jamaica.

good story. to get to roatan, you must either take a ferry or a plane. we took the ferry. on the way to roatan, we were given dramamine with our tickets. this seemed a bit strange, but nice. it was nice that they were helping us out like htat. turned out to be the worst 2 hours on a boat that i've ever spent. kendra and i sat on the top deck, figuring that it'd be best to get fresh air. it probably was. but it was almost impossible to walk around becuase the boat was moving so much. there were a few times when waves crashed onto the deck (we were on the 2nd level... that's a lot of water). and as we were on the ride, there were crew members handing out barf bags. let's just say many people needed them. it was a ridiculous ride. but worth it! and after such a terrible ride, i was expecting something similar yesterday morning at 7. but it was muuuuuch better, and i wished i hadn't even taken the dramamine.

roatan was very very hot and extremely humid. being back in tegucigalpa, i'm already very relieved at the much cooler weather, even though it's roughly 80 here. we snorkeled, relaxed on the beach, and just had a good time being on vacation. now that i'm back in tegucigalpa, it's time to get some work done for school, which starts back up on monday. until then, i'll just keep enjoying my very long weekend.

i have some pictures published here:
