Snow Balls in Roatan Island Honduras

Snow Balls in Roatan

These kids escaped the cold for a once in a life time Roatan vacation!
Being pros at making snow balls, they used their snow cone cups from Bananarama to mold this "sand ball" fortress. The parents gave these kids a white sand beach, crystal clear water, and freedom to use thier imagination. The kids gave their parents lots of fun, memories to last a lifetime, and great big smiles!

Melvin Alexander Bodden "Palanca"

"Roatan Photo of the Week"

A look inside the casa of Palanca reveals life "Island Style" here on Roatan.

You won’t see Melvin in a fancy museum…no, his museum is the great outdoors. Look for a small house in a grassy field in Sandy Bay decorated with his own paintings! Just pull up along the road, meet Palanca, have a little chat, and buy a carving for your place. He is a favorite among island visitors and an award winner in the municipality of Coxen Hole. Roatan wood is his claim to fame!
