Oh Roatan !! We have a family that we have visited over the years.  The first time we went a little boy named Andrew offered to "be our guide and  our interpreter .  He was 10 at the time.  We hated when they built the new port and not all ships went into the old city port.  We used to bring things to the orphanage near the old port.  Everytime we went back we would take a cab to Andrews house and take him and a friend diving to lunch etc.  Met his grandmother who he and about 6 others lived with.  We saw his village get tarmack roads instead of just mud...we always took him shopping to their little store to fill up on rice and beans and eggs etc...anything they needed at the time.  We would take pictures of everyone and when digital cameras came in we bought a little printer with us to develop the pictures and give them away.  His grandmother died of Diabetes about 5 yrs ago.  I didn't realize until then that I was 3 yrs older than her.  The poor woman.  To make a long story short the last time we saw Andrew he was covered in mud because his friends house had just slid down the mt into the village and people were helping to did it out. He felt badly that he couldn't join us.  He is 23 now...a beautiful man and he works for the church.  That's one reason why we visit ports more than one😍
