First Day in Roatán

This morning students woke up ate breakfast and packed their bags to be ready for a 9:00 departure from Utila. After saying our goodbyes to the lovely staff, we took dive boats to the Utila dream fairy where we then boarded the fairy headed to Roatán. Once arrived at Roatán we had an insane bus ride across island to Halfmoon bay resort where students will be spending the duration of their time in Honduras. Our rooms were situated, they are much bigger and more “clean” than those in Utila. We ate a rather excited lunch of some familiar rice with a side more rice (jk there was coleslaw). Then students geared up for their first snorkel on the reefs of Roatán right off the steps of the resort. Students saw a Nassau grouper, green moray eel, sharp nose pufferfish, hawksbill sea turtle, spotted trunkfish and some slippery dick.

After the snorkel students dried up and prepared for our identification quiz. The quiz was followed by a meal of pasta and hotdogs and SALAD!!! 🎉

Then students decided we would round up the crew and go to town for some gelato, which was muy bueno (very good). We will definitely be going back throughout the week.
