Rainy season


The first week I was here it was sunny, blue skies, and hot every day, so I laughed that it is the rainy season. But now I see what they mean. The last 2 morning I have woken up at 6 to the thunderous sound of rain the roof. But then the day time clears up. Unfortunately the rain brings out the mosquitoes too. If you forget to put on bug spray here, you will regret it. I've already gone through a whole bottle. 

Last night for Halloween we dressed up as Roatan Taxi's which we felt was quite relevant here. We had license plates and air fresheners and whistles to call out "taxi taxi!"
 People thought it was pretty funny, esp the taxi drivers. Photos to come. We were all shocked that halloween is celebrated in Honduras, but it sure is. Sundowners across from our apartment had a great party as well as several others in West End. There is a fun group of people living here I am getting to know. 


Friday I went on really cool dive. The site was called Hole in the Wall because it is a deep canyon in the reef you can swim through. It was just me and the dive master so he pointed out lots of cool little lettuce slugs, crabs, snails, etc. There were lots of narrow little swim thrus so I making sure my tank didn't hit the coral was a challenge. We went into a cave filled with little silver fish. In one of the narrow swim thrus was a 4 foot morray eel that creeped me out to swim by. 

Also on Friday after clinic we went to the daycare to do check ups on kids who probably otherwise wouldn't go a doctor. The kids were very cute and playful. The doctors had a hard ti
me knowing what to do with them as there was no health history or parent to communicate with. But I suppose its better than nothing.
