Walking Paths to Rooms

Our son Hans dropped our digital camera and broke it so we have not had any additions to our blog. We now have a new camera and so the story continues.

We have started building some walkways to each cabaña room. What happened is that when it rains hard we were getting some large puddles of water and you would have to wade through them to the rooms. Also the fine sand gets squishy and you track it into your room.

We always enjoy starting a new project.

I was always against making walking paths because I love the sand, but they were really necessary in the rainy season.

One path almost finished.

Parking Lot Planter

We are working on a center divider for our parking lot.

We hope to get customers to parallel park and have more parking space when it is done. The divider has a planter in it where we are planting some palms, other flowers and adding lights to illuminate the parking lot.

We had some large palms growing on our property and transplanted them into the planter. Saves a lot of time waiting for them to grow. :)

Street Sign Finished

Here is the new Corozal Bay Resort sign next to our entrance gate. Maria planted a rock garden in front and put in many nice plants.
We built a thatch roof over the sign for looks and installed lights so it is well lit up at night.
It looks great!
In the bottom photos you can see how Mayan heads look on the new sign.

Welcome to Corozal Bay Resort

Welcome to the very first post in our new Corozal Bay Resort / Podzun Family Blog. This is something completely new to me. So here goes...

We are working on our new sign on the roadside. Some people had commented that they would drive past our resort and miss it because we had only a small sign and they would not see it. So we decided to build a better sign. This one will be large, attractive and illuminated at night.

35 years ago my Mom (Lottie Podzun) sculpted a couple of Mayan heads out of concrete. These heads were located on the veranda of the second floor of my parents house, overlooking the front yard. When they sold their house and moved back to Canada, the new owner removed the heads and was going to throw them away. We got them and had the heads laying around the yard for years. While our mason was laying the blocks for the new sign we discovered a great place for the heads. We decided to place one head on each side of what will be our new sign.

Here is a picture of one of my Mom's Mayan heads that was just attached to the sign and Maria enjoying it's shade.

Here is another photo of our full time construction guy Ronald, cementing the head on to the sign.

After 35 years my Mom's Mayan head have finally found a great new home.
