I just got back from Roatan, Honduras, which is an island located in the Caribbean. I spent 5 days there and thoroughly enjoyed soaking up some sun and relaxing on the beach. After traveling 7 hours by bus and then catching a ferry that lasted another 2 1/2 hours, we were tired of constantly being in a moving vehicle by the time we hit the island. Our first night there was spent embracing the Caribbean lifestyle and checking out the carnival going on, as well as attempting to eat dinner at a restaurant when the power was out.
The rest of the trip just kept getting better. We took a tour of the reef in a glass-bottom boat, snorkeled (I got to see lots of different schools of tropical fish, jellyfish, and tons of cool looking coral), went kayaking through the bay, layed on the beach under palm trees enjoying the sun, and had the most amazing food and coffee ever!!
It was great getting to know some of the other teachers better and building relationships with them. We had a dock behind our hotel we would go lay on almost every night and we would talk and stargaze because the sky was so clear you could see the Milky Way perfectly. It was an awesome vacation and a good way to relax while our school is closed.
What kind of coffee do they serve in the Caribbean? Also...you look quite tan in the picture on the hammock...Kaelyn and I got so jealous we walked around outside forever today. In the end I believe Kaelyn is 2 shades darker and I look exactly the same.
ReplyDeleteOh my this comment made me laugh very hard! First of all, they have normal coffee in the Caribbean. Most of the coffees down here have soy in them so their taste is much different from the stuff we drink in the U.S. but cafes and restaurants usually have normal coffee. We got iced coffee in the Caribbean though because it was so hot. And I am super dark now! It's awesome. And I loved your comment about Kaelyn getting 2 shades darker and you being the same. Hang in there! When you come visit me you will get tan :)
