Tues, 1 Mar
Happy March ! time is going so fast already; must be almost spring in Michigan! i went to Rudy's for French Toast and OJ ... and wireless internet service.
i was there a long time downloading pictures ... so long that i felt guilty, and ordered a strawberry lemonade. it was good! Jimmy said he was going to get internet service for me ..... i can also go to a cafe where i can buy a package for 2weeks; but don't want to do that if i'm going to have it in my room ... we'll see how this goes. i really got spoiled having service right at BICA anytime day or night, and not having to drag my laptop to a cafe!
i walked around Roatan for awhile, and found a couple cheap light weight tops to buy. it really is hot here and my clothes are too tight fitting to be cool. also saw this cute little puppy and his mom. he was way too busy to stop for a photo.
then i met Grazzia at 2pm and we talked about other things i'll be doing. it is possible that i'll be a 'Snorkel Guide' on Fri for another group of students. i'll like that !!!!!!!
home for a swim and a shower, then i walked back into town to meet Nicole and Chris. it's a leisurely 10min walk from my place into town. we decided to 'treat ourselves' tonight to some Thai food that is quite expensive. we sat at a table on the dock over the water. it was pretty and the food was wonderful. tomorrow we'll meet and go to West Bay for the day.
some info about Roatan: Roatan is the largest of The Bay Islands, at 32 miles long and from 1-3 miles wide. A small mountain ridge runs along the spine of the island offering expansive ocean vistas with the highest point at about 900 feet above sea level. The island has varying topography from white sandy beaches, iron (rocky) shoreline, mangroves, tropical hilltops, lush valleys, and reef surrounded waters.
map of Roatan. i am at West End, which is at the bottom, on the left side (west side).
it's a big island, and, i'll probably never experience 99.9% of it. i don't see me leaving West End, ... and i can walk the entire length in 15min ... and i'm learning to walk slower these days too :) it's a very small 'world' i'm living in here ... smaller than Utila ... smaller than Caye Caulker. but i like it and i'll do fine as long as i have my internet connection. :)
here is a map showing West End area. my "world" starts at the 'dot' at Half Moon Bay, and ends at the 'dot' across from West End Village. You can also see West Bay, at the south tip where i'll go tomorrow with Chris and Nicole. it's supposed to be the longest white sandy beach on the island. it's about a 30-40min walk along the beach.
in 1993 Marine Reserve was established, it includes about 8 miles of coastline, starting at Lawson Rock going south around the West Bay.
