Dining and Exploring Mangroves off of Roatan

Dining and Exploring Mangroves off of Roatan

B.J.s Backyard bar and restaurant in Oak Ridge is one of the best places to get away from the crowds, kick back, relax and enjoy a cold beer and some of the freshest, best seafood around. This small fishing village is a great way to get a feel for what Roatan is really like.

Specialties at B.J.s Backyard include island style seafood (of course), delicious homemade French bread, and Bread Pudding with Rum sauce.

B.J.s Backyard really is amazing, overlooking Roatan’s unique Mangrove Canal. After lunch, you can walk down B.J.s Backyard dock and hire a small boat to navigate through the canal, past several lagoons, and straight to Caribe Point.

Dive on Roatan at Anthony Key's

I recently got a recommendation from a friend for a really great place to stay and dive on Roatan: Anthony Key’s Resort. Although is a little more expensive than average, with rooms starting at US $120 a night, it is worth the price if you are looking for a quality, hiccup free diving vacation. One of his favorite things about Anthony’s was the fact that the whole place is relaxed and quiet, and the staff has a tendency to blend into the scenery, making it a peaceful spot to enjoy the natural surroundings.

Anthony Key’s provides individual lockers on the dock for divers to store their own equipment, assigned a specific dive boat and a dive master, Read more

Fresh Seafood Restaurant in Tela, Honduras

If you are a fan of seafood and happen to have the opportunity to dine in Tela, Honduras, you have got to stop by Restaurante Lucas del Norte. Seafood is their specialty, and it is always served fresh!

The relaxed atmosphere lends itself to a pleasant dining experience. Since the seafood is really what you come here for, I suggest the seafood soup (it’s piled high with fresh seafood!) If you aren’t a fan of fish, I’ve heard that everything else is quite tasty as well, although I wouldn’t be able to tell you that from my own personal experience. Meals are less expensive than average, at less than US $10 for the food and drink. Read more

Does Honduas Prefer Obama or McCain for US President?

The debate of who should be the next United States president is a hot one wherever you travel to and Honduras is no exception, even if the Gallup Poll taken doesn’t reflect it.

From May to September 2008 Gallup Polls conducted surveys in 70 countries to see who the world preferred to see elected into the Presidential office in the United States.

The poll claims that 64% of Hondurans do not know or would not answer who would make the better U.S. president as far as Honduras is concerned, Obama or McCain. Twenty-seven percent support Obama and only 9% are for McCain.

This Gringo thinks that these results don’t reflect the true feelings Read more
