The Food Galley. . . I Mean Gallery

Food-Related Photos From Around the World

I am not person who takes pictures of her food.  I see photos all the time on Facebook of what someone had for lunch or dinner.  I just do not see the appeal in posting photos of a chicken breast with mashed potatoes on social media.  Almost as protest, I try to abstain from taking such photos as often as I can.  Sometimes when traveling though I see something I simply cannot not photograph.  All of those random food and restaurant photos (which I refuse to put in a regular post) have now been deposited here for your enjoyment.  And now the awesome, the disgusting, and the truly random food gallery.

The Island of Roatan, Honduras

Roatan Shore Excursions

Roatan is a little island in the Caribbean Sea, which is a part of Honduras.  I've been to Roatan twice, both visits on cruises.  On my first visit to Roatan, I participated in an activity typical of cruise port of calls: zip lining.  Zip lining was not offered by the ship, so I booked our excursion with a Roatan based company for $40 each, including transportation from and to the pier.  It's my understanding that zip lining often includes rides through the canopy of a forest.  However, on Roatan this was not the case.  On Roatan we zip lined over a valley down to the ocean.
