Guanaja Honduras - a Sleepy Saturday Morning


WOW! A sleepy Saturday morning in Guanaja Honduras!

Here we sit on the porch swing, sipping coffee and listening to Tina help her kids with their homework. There is no TV at the resort and Manrike, 13 and Paita, 15 are hard at work every morning with their studies and then usually go off to school in the afternoon for four hours. These are great kids, respectful to everyone and yet still are just "kids" when they go out to play in the yard. Such a different lifestyle from the "spoiled" ones that many US kids grow up with. I don't know which is better, but this is a very wholesome atmosphere.

As we swing, we take in the stunning view of Dunbar Villa, perched on a rock in the Caribbean Sea just a few hundred yards from our resort. Right now there are no guests at the Villa. Used mainly as a dive resort this hotel truly boasts being one with nature. How cool is this? I can't imagine someone actually approaching a contractor with the idea ... you want me to build, what, WHERE?

Right now the resort is for sale and for 1.7 million US dollars, you can have this picture postcard perfect resort to yourself!

We can smell breakfast cooking ... Lela comes out to get us and another day begins in Guanaja Honduras......
