                 Here’s a shot of the Roatan shore. Roatan
                  is located in the Bay Islands of Honduras. I took this photo
                  just before debarking the ship for our Roatan excursions—a
                  dolphin encounter followed by time at Tabayana Beach.

                 Welcome to urban Roatan! Oh, what a thriving
                  metropolis! I took this photo from inside the compact taxi
                  that carried us to the dolphins.

                 Well, if there ever was a “Beuty saloon,” here
                  it is. Young children hang out while a woman hangs out her
                  slip to dry.

                 The most fun we had on our cruise was the dolphin
                  encounter. The dolphin we encountered was Samantha, and here
                  she is at the very top of the photo. Make no mistake about
                  it: this excursion was worth its price plus the price of the
                  cruise itself!
