Trip to Roatan was much fun!  We stayed the first 3 nights in West End at the Arco Iris (Rainbow) hotel. on Half Moon Bay.  A pretty area and many good places to eat.  Too many good places to eat, in fact.  And I took full advantage of them all, to the point of developing a distinct waddle to my walk. There is a great place to snorkel  on the east end of the bay.  You can go in right off the rocks (nice stairs going into the water) and enjoy a small reef there with very little effort.  My kind of snorkeling these days.
We had a lucky encounter with a local man named Edgar who offered to take us on a day long island tour.  We decided to abandon our original plan to rent a car and let Edgar be our driver and guide.  An excellent decision as Edgar took us to places we would never have found on our own.  Among them were the monkey park where we got up close and personal with the wildlife, a Garifuna showplace where we listened to the drumming for which this culture is well known and watched them dance, even stomping out a few steps ourselves, and taking a canoe trip along the coast and through the mangroves.  On the way back we stopped at Cal's Cantina, an eatery we enjoyed last year with Carol and Frank.  This restaurant sits on a hill overlooking the water and, among other tasty dishes, has the best hamburger in the western hemisphere.  I want to go back to Roatan next year, if only for the food there!
WE spent the last three nights over in West Bay, the neighboring vacation area to West End.  It is slightly more upscale with a long beautiful curving stretch of beach.  Nice but West End has a more cozy and friendly feel.  There is a water taxi system between the two places (only $3) so you can stay in West End and go over to West Bsy for a day whenever you want.
Rob and Linda left for their trip back home (Goodby!!!) and Les and I spent one more night back in West End before an early morning flight on Tropic Air back to Belize City.
