Pringles, Anyone?

Jeff has been impressed by many things during his visit to Roatan, but he was completely blown away by our Pringles!

For some reason, Pringles seem to be extremely popular overseas—much more so than in the United States. When Kevin and I were on safari in Africa five years ago, we came across a giant two-story Pringle can on the side of the road in the bush. It was a Pringles store—in the middle of nowhere.

Hondurans love their Pringles, too, apparently. We often can’t find American products when we want them at the local grocery stores, but they always have Pringles. Here’s a shot Jeff took at Plaza Mar of the Pringles section.

Unbelievable! And they have many flavors we have never even seen in the States. Yum! (And weird!)

Hey, Neighbor!

Last week, we were graced with the arrival of Jeff Kinsel, our friend and neighbor from Denver, Colorado. Jeff has taken a personal sabbatical of sorts from the drudgery of work and decided to visit us before he heads back into the real world.

Jeff was scheduled to leave on Saturday, but he is enjoying his time here so much, he has extended his stay until next Saturday. Between our work obligations here at the resort and the now increasingly more-common rains, we haven’t been able to do as much as we had hoped to entertain him, but we have had some fun. His first night, we managed to steal away for our first overnight away from the lodge. We spent an evening in West End, the tourist part of the island, where we enjoyed a good meal and a night out. We also experienced a small earthquake! It was a first for Jeff and me, but Kevin endured a much larger one a few months ago on the island. We have also snuck in a mangrove tour, a couple of snorkeling excursions, and a few hours of fishing. When we’re busy, Jeff keeps himself occupied by fishing off the dock, sailing our Hobie cat, taking photos and video (look for some upcoming guest shots), and bugging the cooks.


It’s been wonderful seeing a familiar face from home. If you need a vacation, keep us in mind!
