    This island was British for a very long time. The bulk of the population speaks English. All major businesses are run by Americans, Canadians, and local "white islanders" of British descent. I've never felt the need to learn Spanish beyond "Cervesa por favor" and "Una mas por favor".

    I've been looking at the island. I didn't realize the place was a tourist attraction with two cruise ship terminals.

    We have a sandwich shop at the International Airport on the island. American, Delta, United, an Italian charter, several Canadian airlines one from Panama, and lots of flights from Central America keep the place going. It's a diver destination. If you don't dive, you'll be bored. The cruise ships are just day stop overs and the passengers rarely leave the ports as they're full of typical tourist shops.

    My wife is a mathematician / professional software developer. Every Roatan diving trip we took lacked decent bread and pastry. She's a foodie. She can taste a dish and tell you the ingredients including the quantities. She didn't realize that she had a gift for food - she though everyone could figure out what she could for the longest time. On one dive trip she remarked that we should start a bakery on the island - a real one like the German, Italian, French, etc bakeries on every corner in New York.

    She took a year off to stay with my parents in NY to attend The French Culinary Institute in Manhattan. She took their professional bakery course; cost a small fortune. Shortly after completing her studies we were on the island setting up a bakery including about $100,000 in import equipment. We introduced bagels to a population. They went nuts for them and the NY Cheese cake, etc. We had the bakery open as a retail restaurant for a few years but it turned out to be way too much work. Local labor and local laws are an experience (all bad). Suffice it to say that she was working herself to death and just couldn't keep up.

    The sandwich shop is enough work.
