Here’s a distillation of the best and worst of our trip around the world. We lots of fun putting this together during the final weeks of our trip. Most useful item we brought with us: Mitch’s swiss army knife. We used it for everything from extracting a sea urchin spine from Mitch’s foot at the […]

Copan Ruinas
August 13 Today we went to the Macaw Mountain Bird Park. It was a 21/2 kilometer walk from town. We had a guide bring us through. The first stop was the parakeets, then scarlet macaws. There was a cage for scarlet macaws that you could walk through. There were also toucans, green macaws, aracaris, owls, […]
Leaving Roatan
Yesterday (the 11th) we left Roatan. There were a lot of mixed feelings about leaving. We certainly had a great time there, and it was very relaxing. Our place was on the ocean, with a great view of a beautiful, white sand beach. And the diving was wonderful. The reefs there are in very nice […]
Visiting the Mayan ruins
Wow! Today was great! We left Roatan yesterday, and we were all sad to go. It was Mom and Dad’s favorite place in the Caribbean, and it was me and my sister’s favorite (and only) place too. But now we have reached Copan Ruinas and having just as much fun. We are staying at a […]

But what is not to like about spending time on a beautiful white sand beach, lined with palm trees and jungle overlooking calm blue seas? Things got even better yesterday when we moved […]
Roatan!
We’ve made it to our first island, and I have been having a great time. The first day was a long trip on the ferry on which Emma threw up, but other than that, the trip was pretty fun. We even saw a shipwreck near Roatan. Then we headed to our hotel, a place called […]
Goodbye Nicaragua, Hello Honduras
Bootsnall Blog We left Nicaragua on the 29th, after 17 days there. We had decided to move on to Honduras because we were concerned that Bjorn and Emma were not enjoying things as much as Margit and I were, and we thought some diving would really get them excited. Of course, we are not certain […]
