    Dear Roger,

    I lived in the West Bay area for six months and enjoyed it, but I was up the
    hill on the ridge. A lot of nice people live in West Bay.

    Anywhere in Roatan you will find a social scene in my experience. Roatan is
    great in that you can find a comfortable group no matter what your budget as
    well, since the communities range from very low cost to more expensive.
    There also isn't a lot of snobbery on Roatan. One of the wealthiest people
    I know there is a real down home type of person who I spent quite a bit of
    time talking to about solar energy before I even realized he had more money
    than I ever would.

    You don't say what nationality you are, but there are people from Europe,
    the UK, the US, some from South America, Canada, other Central America,
    mainland Honduras, a few from Africa and maybe an Aussie or two. It makes a
    nice multinational mix.

    There are also planned communities where you can let more of the cares rest
    on someone else. You can see a list of those at:
    http://www.roatanet.com in the Community Living Section.

    I also lived in an islander community where I was the only gringo and made
    some good friends there. That was in 1995 when I came to Roatan to live the
    first time. The islanders were very patient with me as I did silly things,
    like use WAY too much of the community water one day by accident.

    One area that fascinates me is the East End, since I have never lived there.
    I have had friends who lived in Oak Ridge and they seemed to really enjoy
    it. When I'd visit, time seemed to take on a little different quality there
    on the key-a sort of suspension of time, if that makes sense.

    Best regards,
    Steve
