My Favorite Sign on Guanaja

September 15, 2010 By Jill Robinson

I noticed this sign a couple of years ago at Zapata’s Store on the Cay. While it’s not the worst misspelling I’ve seen, it makes me laugh every time I see it. I know they intended for it to say customers and not costumers, but I can’t help imagining a boat full of people in […]

Getting My Hands Dirty

July 26, 2010 By Jill Robinson

Just the Beginning

June 25, 2010 By Jill Robinson

I first traveled to Guanaja in 1997, a year before Hurricane Mitch sat on the Honduran island for three days, stripping it of every little piece of green. My trip—a kayak circumnavigation—only took a week, but Guanaja left a lasting impression on me. After returning once or twice a year afterward, my husband and I […]
