Roatan, Honduras

In 2009 I took a cruise of the Caribbean Sea with a bunch of USAF veterans—we were aboard on Veterans’ Day (11 Nov) and had a celebration. However, we also made a number of port calls, one of which was the Island of Roatan, part of Honduras. We had a guided coach tour and visited a Monkey Farm and a Cameo Factory. Here are some selected photos of that experience.

Thank you very much! Yes, it was a fun trip. The veterans I was traveling with had a very fine dinner meeting with a Medal of Honor recipient, which I enjoyed. We also docked at several other ports: Grand Cayman, Belize, and Cozumel & Tulum in Mexico. I'm not sure (without checking) if I've posted any of those other locations, but if I have not, someday I might.

I'm in the process of posting some photos of Grand Cayman Island and two sites seen there.
