This week is the biggest holiday in Honduras. Over 1.8 million visitor were here this week and lot of them came to Roatan. The public beaches have thousands of people on them. There are parties everywhere.
Paya Bay is having a 4 day party that started on Thursday and continues through Sunday. They have a DJ playing music on the beach from about noon to 1:00am every night. It seem most people start arriving a little after 9:00 each night. They serve food and lots and lots of beer until everyone goes home. There is little chance of sleeping if you don't want to party because the music is very loud.
I had a great week this week. The guests were terrific and very easy going. We had 2 school teachers from New York and a family from Chicago I think. They loved every minute and keep complimenting the entire staff that works with me. We all feel really good about it.
Ben and I had 4 students this week that took the Open Water Scuba Diver class. One lady, Polly, dropped out on the first day because she didn't like it. Her husband and 2 older boys enjoyed it however and were all great students. Polly took all the test and actually scored better than everyone. By the end of the week, Ben convinced her to give it another try and she did very well. She didn't get certified but she only needs 4 dives to complete the certification so she'll certainly make it too.
I went for a short walk today which is something I've not done before. I just walked up to the tiny local bar to pay the lady that cooks the crew food. She wasn't there buy the walk was interesting. I couldn't believe all the sounds I heard. I could here the ocean waves for a long time. Later I heard dozens of birds, all differnt kinds, all around me. When I got to a small village I could here crying babies and kids having fun. I could here party music at one house. You walk very slowly as it's warm and humid. When a car drives by you close your eyes to avoid all the dust but you still get dirty and breathing is a challenge. I don't know how the locals do it every single day.
