Snakes in Roatan!

 I had heard there were snakes on the island.  Hawaii has none!   We found this little guy winding it's way across our parking lot at the condo.  We had a bunch of groceries so I didn't think of taking a picture of it until a few minutes later and by then it had moved it's self under some bushes.  It is only about a foot in length.   I can honestly say that I have not seen a snake in the wild in over 30 years.

 Oops, didn't realize it's been a whole year since I've posted last.   Well we we wanted to go to The Wok, but they didn't open until 12 and it was 11:20, so I didn't want to wait 40 minutes - we walked next door to the bakery to see if they offered anything for lunch.  They had a large lunch menu including soups, salads, burgers and salads.   The burger didn't mention french fries and since it was a bakery, I wasn't expecting big portions, so Greg ordered the burger and I ordered the pesto pasta salad and we were going to split each item.  Well we get our food and the burger is huge and it came with french fries, so we split his lunch and took mine home to eat for dinner.  Of course I had to nibble on the pasta first, it was delicious.

Queen Restaurant

 There is a shopping center in French Harbor called Mega Plaza.  It has a few different shops including something equivalent to the Dollar store - called DeTodo, a Payless Shoe store - yes a USA store, a couple of banks, some food places, a furniture/appliance/household store called Lady Lee - according to my realtor the best place to buy furniture.  We bought a new fridge and a new reclining couch, and a couple of other things.  The prices were very good, but I'm digressing from the Title. lol Queen Restaurant is in this Mega Plaza, the reviews on Trip Advisor was a 4.3 out of 5 so we decided to try it.  The prices are good, the hamburgers with french fries start at $5.  Greg ordered the chicken strips and french fries, I decided to be brave and try the Fajita plate.  Never have I ever had Fajitas on plantains.  Plantains look like bananas, but have less sugar and less flavor so they fry them like french fries.  When they are fried they don'...

Greg said his iced coffee was good. Here is our Panini Sandwiches - we both ordered bacon: They have several different desserts from Carrot Cake, brownies and their homemade icecream.  They have 7 different flavors.  I forgot to take a picture of the menu, but they have a ...
