Holy Batfish, Robin!

Last Saturday, we were joined at the lodge by Jeremy, our new “intern” and all-around helper guy. Jeremy is young, just out of college, and excited to be in Honduras. He plans to do some volunteering at a school in Oak Ridge, improve his Spanish, attend a local church, and enjoy all the entrapments of a tropical paradise. He will also be our gofer. Jeremy will be staying with us until early May.

Here’s a photo of Jeremy taking “Spanish lessons” with Dalia. As those of you who have visited know (Joe, Jeff, I’m looking at you), Dalia likes to be very helpful to our guests. I believe her gold lame stripper shoes and tank top somehow help Jeremy learn better. However, I’m betting his mother would disagree.

One of the fun things about having Jeremy around is that he reminds us of all the amazing things about Roatan. It’s easy to overlook the surrounding beauty when you get busy with work and the day-to-day challenges of living here. But to Jeremy, everything is new and very cool.

Earlier this week, Kevin spotted a batfish just off our dock. These things are incredibly cool, so Jeremy jumped in for a closer look.

The batfish is a really crazy-looking little guy that hobbles around on his hind legs. Neato!
