Memories of summer

As I getting bogged down by all the stress that the second semester of school brings, I started to reminisce about summer.  I have many great memories from this past summer but I really could not get one particular trip out of my mind. My parent's work associate owns a condo in Roatan, Honduras (a small island off of the northern coast of Honduras) and invited us to use it for a week.  Having never been before, we decided to go and see what it was like.
We flew down to Roatan during the first week of August. (I'd just like to mention that according to an article on Yahoo!, the Roatan airport is one of the most dangerous in the world.) While the island has beaches to die for, there are some more interesting facts about Roatan. Like the fact you can go to a lizard farm there. Or that there are only two stop signs on the island and no post office, they deliver mail door to door. Only stick shift cars are used on the island. My parents don't do stick shift. One time, we actually started rolling back down the hill (and those hills are steep). All in all, the experience was incredible and I'd go back in a heartbeat.
