LIFE ON PANTO-HA CONTINUES












The scenery is so wonderful at Panto-Ha. The trees are so many and the layout of the land is untouched by anything other than nature and a bit of cleaning done by Gabriel, the caretaker and his brother-in-law, Juan.
Abel just enjoys Panto-Ha and Jonathan,Gabriel's two year old son loves him too.
This weekend he even got use to the idea of calling us mama and papa. So now we are really family!! He also enjoyed playing Abel's guitar. I guess we will have another musician in the family!!!

THE HORSES






There are two horses on the resort ad you can go horse-back riding if you want to. Many of the guest find it very different to do this and it adds to the things you can't really do in the city.

It is really a place unlike many others.

A LOVER'S BRIDGE ACROSS A STREAM AT PANTO-HA






The ducks at Panto-Ha Resort are at home on the stream that cut the resort in two parts. You can go cross the fruit orchard by way of this little bridge.

It offers a romantic view of the place. The ducks eventually come out of the water and walk on the land and fly abit too, but they never fly away.

TREES ON PANTO-HA RESORT






Unlike many other resorts, Panto-Ha is home to many trees and offers the possibility of hiking among the trees. The cocnut palms offer coconuts and shade for the walker and the horses.

THE CABANAS AT PANTO-HA RESORT IN XUL HA





A few of the cabanas at Panto-Ha. The two on the stilts are family sized and each has two double beds and two hammocks.

The scenery and the breeze that come through the windows are to die for. It is the ideal holiday resort.

ANOTHER MANGROVE TREE ON THE LAGOON WITH MORE NESTS






There were no eggs in these well made little homes for some of our friends, birds of the lagoon. We didn't see them around but their homes are safe. When I was younger I would take those little eggs and the nests home but now that I have grown up I realize the birds need to continue their existence if this universe is to continue. So, I tell all my students and friends to enjoy nature but to leave it as we find it.

This day on the lagoon was very special indeed.
Thanks for a great time on the water, amigo. It was quite an outing.

ON THE LAGOON IN XUL HA







Suddenly, while kayaking on the lagoon, we saw a tree and it had a nest in it. So I go to take a picture and set the camera up so it gets a view of the inside of the nest. What do I see then? Two speckly eggs. So we take its picture and leave them there for creation to do its thing!

NATURE IS AT ITS BEST IN THE WILD AND AT PEACE ON THE LAGOON!

KAYAKING AT PANTO-HA RESORT





Talk about never being too old to try something. This was a great weekend and I went kayaking for the first time. It was fabulous. We went out into the lagoon and had a really nice time in an area seldom visited by kayakers and we took some really nice pictures.

Panto-Ha Resort with cabanas is really a nice place for those you can rough ot away from the tv, computer and just sit back and relax or get that well needed rest you deserve away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
