Roatan interior hike, 29 April 2010
No idea who these guys were, but they had a footpath all the way back to Sandy Bay...they truly lived in the middle of nowhere.

Anti-Chavez Rally: "We Don't Bite"
The Roatan anti-Chavez rally up at Plaza Mar was about what I expected. The chat groups have been on fire lately, and I've learned so much about politics on there. I never knew President Obama's first name was spelled "Barrack" nor did I know he was a bona-fide Communist. You can even spell his last name "O'Bummer."
Obviously, some big brains are at work.

A Tale of Two Chat Groups
At least the two main groups affiliated with Roatan:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Living-In-Roatan/
Living-In-Roatan@yahoogroups.com
and its pale, wan, sickly counterpart:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/roatan/
roatan@yahoogroups.com
Both provide news and gossip about Roatan goings-on. L-I-R is usually more fun to read; lately that hasn't been the case as the group is infested with blowhardy windbags and Limbaugh acolytes who generally agree on a few basic points:
1. Obama is evil incarnate, leading America into a dark era of socialism
2. If it wasn't for Obama's love affair with Hugo Chavez, Honduras wouldn't be in this mess right now
3. Hating Obama is the only path to true enlightenment
But, bravo to Ted at Bay Island Beach Resort, who moderates the group but does not censor comments, unlike the so-called roatan bay islands discussion group who admit that "spam and irrelevant messages are deleted."
The list is essentially an advertising vehicle for real estate on the island -- anything remotely controversial never sees the light of day. It's perennially perky and upbeat, staid and stolid and stale, but I still read it because someone might be selling something.
I'll be back later to share some of the more memorable posts from the expat voting bloc who are so disappointed in Obama's performance, they clearly can't even think straight.
