Roatan, Honduras

Auto service shop.

 We asked him what he was carrying. He said that this is sugar cane used to make rum!

Fruit stand.

 Roatan was a beautiful island.  We loved the beauty of it and we swam with dolphins, there. We also saw a lot of poverty. It fit my mental image if what a tropical island is.

Belize

I was very curious about Belize. It has a very large American population and the highest cost of living of all of the islands that we visited. 
It seems like a very mixed economy. We saw a lot of big houses and a lot of very poor houses on our drive to the ruins. 

Very strange tree.

School. 

Iguana sunning it self on a wall. 

The ruins at Altun Ha were the most impressive. They were built around 900 BC. to 1000 A.D.

See my husband at the top of the stairs?
