So day 2 finished with dinner at the resort where we were playing as guest of the owner. Dinner was served by waiters in formal attire and powder blue vests (my favorite color). Being on an island I thought it appropriate to have the fried fish with a cream shrimp sauce. It fish was covered in pieces of shrimp unlike the token portions we might recieve in the States. Unfortunatly I do not take well to fish and shrimp and was barely able to finish my meal. I do not know why but it never settles well...
Day 3 lead us to Anthony's Key Resort http://www.anthonyskey.com/en/index.html which is the most known and best resort on the island! I would recommend it to anyone on a honey moon, or adventure getaway! We got hooked up with a Dolfin Encounter where we were able to hang out in the water with the dolfins and pet them and watch their tricks. Pretty cool. It happened to be Rod's neice's 8th birthday and it was all free to us because it was a cousins resort. Pretty weet place! Roatan is known as the best place to dive in the world with the second largest barrier reef in the world. Lunch there was a three course all inclusive style lunch that, hmmm... we didn't have to pay for either!
Before I got all lazy at this resort I went to a local pediatric medical clinic. I connected with this clinic before I went and arranged for me to bring medical supplies. I brought a 60lb duffle bag of goodies for them. I was super impressed with the clinic. It was started by an American Nurse about 15 years ago and has won amazing favor from the islanders and been blessed by God in so many ways. She basically offers services free of charge unless they can pay the $2 for services. the two doctors are local but all of the others are mainly volunteer staff from elsewhere. I enjoyed my time there emensly!
The day finished with a small brithday party at Rod's sisters house for 8 year old Dani.
Day 4 took us to a small island owned by Anthony's key which I will just let you check out from the web site http://www.finsandflippers.com/en/index.html Just spent the day there and arranged with cousin a diving trip tomorrow morning with the best dive service on the island. THis place bought and sunk two ships to provide some extra scenery for their divers!
Today is going to finish up with some Cuba Libres (rum and cokes) and a fried chicken place we have been wanting to try.

JD,
Been trying to message you to wish you well during your difficult times ..for some reason it doesn't go thru at times..don't think it is operator error..as I am very highly technically sound.
Love my buddy,

I think you get your DNA for a lack of taste for shellfish from me.
