Honduras, The First Three Weeks



Our super neighbors drove us an hour to the airport at 5am for the first of 4 flights. We were tired and giddy all day and Aedyn slept a total of 2 hours in those 16 hours. We spent the night on Taca Airlines dime at a cute little hotel in San Pedro Sula and flew to the island of Roatan the next morning. A beautiful sunny day in the western Caribbean greeted us.


Aedyn loved the hammock and seemed to enjoy the crunch of sand in this mouth. He loved the water! He's not a fan of baths so we were surprised he was so happy in the very calm bay and in the pool at the Henry Morgan resort (more on that later.)

Eric worked 8-2 at Clinica Esperanza, a free clinic, on weekdays. The workers at the island's hospital were on strike the whole time we were in Roatan so the clinic saw some cases that would have normally been sent to the hospital. Eric liked his experience there and learning from the other doctors.  Here's the clinic and the view from it's front door. (Ooops. I can't seem to move them down here. They are at the top, the first 3 pictures. The clinic will soon have birthing rooms and hospital capabilities.)

I know! Every day I think, "Can this kid get any cuter?" He's so playful and happy. Also, very independent. WHO KNEW?
