Weekend in Roatan

We took a quick trip to Roatan the other weekend.  We were meeting with a woman from a small, alternative school there about the possibility of working there in a year from now.  Long story short, we decided that we'd pass on the possibility of living on a beautiful tropical island.  We wouldn't be making enough $$$ and the idea of day to day island life (constant bug spray use and island fever) made it seem less appealing.

So for us, Roatan will be a beautiful place to visit that is just a 6+ hour drive and a 90 minute ferry away!

We stayed at a different hotel this time - Land's End.  It is literally at the western most point of the island, just outside of the town West End.  There is not a beach here, per se.  It is volcanic rock... not the white sand beach you might imagine  There was a salt water pool instead and the kids loved it.  Add a full size kayak to the pool and the kids went crazy!

Kayaking in the pool

"Slamwich" has become the new favorite card game.

We still play Uno, too.

There were even a family of 4 deer that lived on the hotel
grounds.  Linnea was feeling brave here.
