Hi from Roatan!

Hi everyone...we do have internet access at our resort on the island.

The day before we headed out here, we went zip lining...they had 18 lines, and one was a kilometer long...our guides were great and it was a lot of fun. Once that was over, they took us to some natural hot spring and we all soaked in the water and smeared ourselves with the mud...even boyscout snoopy got a mud bath! Our skin felt so soft afterwards. After we all rinsed off and changed into dry clothes, the driver took us into town for lunch at an open air restaurant that overlooked the ocean. We had an incredible lunch with an amazing view. I know you are all thinking of some fancy place from the description, but it was literally a large thatch roof hut as are most of the places here. When we were walking out, a girl came up and was selling homemade doughnuts...they beat Krispy Kreams anyday! The weather was just beautiful, and the entire day was so much fun!

Getting here to the island the next morning was an adventure....you know when they come around and pass out barf bags to everyone on the ferry, that the ride will be ROUGH! Fortunately none of us got sick, but I am sure more than a few did. We had to take a taxi from one end of the island to the other to get to our resort, so we got a nice little island tour. Once we got to the resort, it started pouring rain...and our room wasn't ready yet, so we were FORCED to sit at the bar and have the worlds best banana daiquiris! :) Around noon it cleared up so we layed in the sun for a bit and then ventured down the beach to the more commercial area. We did some shopping and then had some dinner and drinks on a rooftop bar while watching the sun go down...it was great! We came back and relaxed on our porch and listened to the waves since they are only a few steps away from our "beach house". This morning it is cloudy again, but is supposed to clear up soon, and then tomorrow is supposed to be sunny. Cris and I are either going to go snorkeling or swimming with the dolphins...not sure which yet!
