In July, some of us employees found a few free days after a brigade left and headed up North for some R&R. There are three main islands in the Caribbean off of the North Coast of Honduras...the most famous of which is Roatán. The whole area is known for cheap scuba diving certification but as Art would say "scuba diving is not something I would want to do cheaply." We had no hopes of diving, just enjoying good company, yummy food and some beach time. We went to the smallest of the three islands, Utila. It was a very strange place. Full of sun-baked (and another kind of baked) gringo transplants that drive around on golf carts and speak an eclectic Creole-type english. There are some true islanders there too. There is a lot of great seafood and plenty of opportunities to relax. We did not get too crazy, but we did take a "lancha" out to one of the isolated cays for some true caribbean beach time. Crystal clear water, crazy snorkeling, palm trees, coconuts, white sand...it didn't even seem real. Here are some photos to make you jealous:
Our hotel completely surrounded by water "The Lighthouse Hotel"
Sunset from our hotel deck. Nice
The cays in the distance on the boat ride over
Water Cay, our day of paradise
Underwater Camera! Sweet!
Los Merro Musculeros de Hombro a Hombro. Alex designed his tatto himself. Ben grew his hair himself.
