Most mornings in December, we walked down the hill and from one end of West Bay Beach to the other. If you wade in the shallows at the end of the beach in front of the Grand Roatan, colorful fish will swarm your feet. It's a wonderful feeling and a free fish pedicure!

Life in the big aquarium is so peaceful. I'm missing my daily therapy.
