One very special highlight of this STM week was a surprise fireworks display for the 4th of July.  This actually happened on the 3rd of July because the west coast team would be downisland on the 4th before leaving Honduras on Saturday and we did not want them to miss this holiday celebration.  Not long after supper was cleaned up, we were all told to follow the flashlights that took us to our boat dock.  We had an amazing vantage point for the fireworks being shot out over the sea.  We knew nothing of the behind-the-scenes efforts that brought this event.  Fireworks cannot be transferred by airplanes, so they had to be bought within the country of Honduras.  Through a friend on the mainland, fireworks were purchased, brought to another city about 6 hours away, placed on the ferry that travels daily from the mainland to Roatan.  Larry then traveled downisland that morning to pick them up at a shipping company (and the boat was late arriving).  Then he took our normal trip by taxi to our boat, 40 minute ride to Helene, arriving just 2 hours before the fireworks were ignited!  We oohed and aahed and quietly watched the glow, concluding with none other than "America the Beautiful."  Thank you, Kitty Hawk.
