jairo y melvin.......(high-ee-do and melbin)

if u've been readin' beed for awhile u know he has two adopted boys from honduras. that is melvin on the left and jairo on the right. beed met these two boys on his first trip to oropoli honduras. beed became good friends with their families and the next year when we went back to oropoli, beed axed their parents if he could take them to roatan.

there are a string of islands off the northern coast of honduras. the water is second to none anywhere in the world. it's funny cuz the islanders speak english with a brit' accent. anyhoo, their families let them go with beed and some of his friends to the islands. beed wuz just tryin' to open them up to something they would prolly nevah see on their own. after a week of workin' in the dental clinic beed and his buds were ready for some downtime on the isle of roatan.

beed worked it out so we could stay an extra week and explore one of honduras' hidden jewels. we ended up stayin' at a decent hotel but not one of the dive resorts that roatan is famous for. here is a photo of jairo and melvin snorkeling at the hotel dock.

since we weren't at a dive resort, beed and company set up a trip to the other side of the island to do some snorkeling. our resident translator, a former m.k. (missionary kid) set us up with a trip to the other side of the island.

we woke up late on the day in question. the hotel restaraunt wasn't open yet so we jumped into the taxi that would carry us to the place we needed to be. we arrived at an old house where they rented out snorkeling gear. since we had nuttin' to eat, audrey (the m.k.) axed the ownahs of the casa if they could fix us sumpin' to eat. they said "shua, for 3 bucks apiece" what a freakin' dealio. they fixed us some eggs ranchero ('beed had to pick the onions out as he hates them) they had some really strong black coffee that they refer to as "tinta" (ink). yowza, this shit had beed breaking out in a sweat on his forehead.

here is the house where we ate breakfast: this is pissing me off. beed can't get the photo to upload so he is gonna publish this post and then start over at part 2 so he can upload the photos.
