Grocery Shopping Roatan Style
When cruising before you leave port you provision with all the things that you think you will never find in the next port.
While in Guatemala we have found that a trip to the city will find us in Price-Smart looking for familiar labels and goodies. Every year that we are here we find more and more US products. Finding “I can’t believe it’s not butter” in Puerto Barrios was a major coup! Charmin toilet paper is another hot item on our list. I personally would give my left tit for some Miracle Whip.
So here I am on one of the Bay Islands off the coast of Honduras and what do I find at Eldon’s Grocery Store? Charmin, Miracle Whip, Jiff peanut butter, fresh veggies and Hunt’s and Heinz products galore; and for Michael, Budweiser Beer!
But the best veggie shopping was from the back of the pick-up trucks at West End Roatan. Fresh and ready to eat!

And how about the prosciutto and Triscuits...and decent wine at Eldon's? I could have stayed there for hours. Loved the fire dance video. It's worth a return sail for that event. So glad you've seen the light again and have gotten back on the blogging path to enlightenment. Love, Kathleen (aka Deja Vu or Dave the Jew or De Vaju)
