Roatan - the Bay Islands

Our time in La Ceiba is quickly coming to an end - we leave tomorrow morning for Danli, where we will spend the next month working at a medical mission clinic. However, we wanted to add one more post before we head off, as we do not know how accessible the internet will be in Danli.

During one of our weekends here, we were able to visit the island of Roatan (largest of the three islands comprising the Bay Islands, known worldwide for excellent scuba diving and snorkeling, and also reported to be the landing place of Christopher Columbus on his fourth and last voyage to the Indies), where we enjoyed a leisurely stay at he beach with snorkeling, kayaking, reading, and relaxing. Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately, the island people all speak English, so this turned out to be a complete break from our studies! However, that being said, it was a much needed weekend to recharge and get ready for what lies ahead!
