What I Learned In Roatan Honduras: Walkabout....And Walking Around Roatan

(By Stephanie)

Walkabout - The common modern application refers to anyone who seeks an escape from society and just goes on an extended holiday for awhile.

Hmm, perfect word for us!

Here's a few pictures of us walking around and discovering Roatan since we arrived...

This is our trail to lots of places....restaurants, library, old yellow house, swimming pool, friends etc...

There are a few nice, large grocery stores on Roatan with plenty of food from the good ol' U.S. but these little pulperias that are strategically placed all along the roads really come in handy.....

.....and "Who Knew", as this sign says, that all you need to Refresh Your Family...(or at least dad) is a Coca Cola?

Lots of different kinds of nice, wobbly, long, broken, old, new, fun, boring docks on the island. Some have rope swings, hammocks, double decks, and more......no two are alike!

Here's the close up of Dustin and Ellie walking out to ours.....

Here's Ethan taking the road way (instead of the beach way) on our popular path.....

Love this view....the walking path to the beach from our old yellow house.....

I think it is interesting enough to post that almost all the fence posts outside the main towns are living posts.

They plant these trees (and they grow so fast) then attach barbed wire to the posts for a living fence!

All they need to do is trim them back every once in awhile.

Here's another.....

We always see random things on Roatan, but this particular day we saw 3 horses along the roadside. Of course the kids want to cautiously go pet one.....
