Roatan Update for week of 4th of July

My friend Dave Carmichael told me when I moved down here how jealous he was going to be of my new "Relaxed" Life style.

Daves world for me sounded great but I knew it was BS. And after 90 days I am sure of it. Never the less the busy we experience here is somehow more interesting and calming than the busy I have had before.

Here are some of the busy stories from the last week.
As you can see in the photo one possible mode of transportation on the streets of Roatan is a 4 wheeler. Gene my partner and I took this one out for some test rides and I have to say it was nice to relive a little bit of my youth when I used to ride these things in Missouri. I might just have to get myself one.

We also have had some interesting happenings at our office. A lot of people asked me is Honduras safe? I always said yea as safe as you can be I suppose. Well stupidity is all over the world. Gene was manning the office on July 4th and our mall has 24hr security. The security guard walked by, Gene waved and then a few minutes later Gene heard a gun shot. He thought that sounds like a gun shot but it can't be. But it was he thought and sure enough as he walked out our office door he saw the guard sprawled on the stairs bleeding. The guard had shot himself in the leg with his crappy 38 revolver. Gene and a few other people cut his pants off and found that the bullet did not go through his leg so they put a towel on his leg. The guard did not know how to call his boss or anyone so they put him in a cab and sent him to the hospital. 2 hrs later a new guard showed up and I gave him the gun (now with 5 bullets) that the other guard had left on the ground and we all felt protected again (ha ha).

Just another day in Paradise.
