i can't really be too angry about being sick but what a waste of time. i spent 2 weeks in my room sleeping. couldn't really ask for a better detox program, though, its been 2 weeks since i've had a drink. i tried a monkey lala last nite in celebration of leaving roatan again and after a few sips john had to practically carry me home. my poor body is defenseless against toxins right now, i'll need to ease into party mode a little at a time.
seems like a good time to leave roatan again. there have been 2 prominent murders in the last month, one being yesterday. a canadian tourist was shot while leaving a bar he really had no business going to and the canadian government is going nuts. although a good portion of non-hondurans on roatan are originally from canada, the media is portraying the island as a lawless, desperate place that no one should visit. which will really only make crime worse since tourism is the only industry i could see.
yesterday's death was much closer to home for the islanders, it was a long time resident named vern, the boat owner and captain of the catamaran that did daily runs to utila. i even watched him loading his boat for the last trip when i was going out to scuba.
later yesterday we heard that his catamaran was found in a bay and he was dead on board, shot and stabbed. his crew had jumped overboard. i haven't heard if they found the guys or why this happened, but i do know that this is more than the government will tolerate, especially 2 days before elections. the cobras are gonna come down and kick some ass.
i hope they get their shit together because roatan is a beautiful, fun place that everyone should be able to enjoy.
