...where we flew out to Roatan, Honduras for lunch, and a glass bottom boat. I don't know why I call this stop "La Ceiba" since we never did anything there. Today, a day trip out to the island of Roatan with Al, Jerry and Del. Ma stayed in La Ceiba to relax on the beach with a book.

I guess I lied in the introduction. Spied from the beach in La Ceiba. Would you take this canoe out in the ocean? (We did!)

The beach at Roatan, as viewed from a boardwalk out to (an unknown) restaurant. I do remember that I had a wonderful curry + rice + shrimp.

We ate lunch in West Bay, then checked out West End -- looking for a glass bottom boat.

I like these two. Like flying over some wierd alien desert.

And the direct from Houston Continental flight (timestamps would make me guess Continental 1404, but it could be 1894).
