From Santa Fe travel toward the town of Bantayan about 30 minutes and you will see Maia’s sign with a sailboat for Maia’s Beach Resort. Make a left turn and travel approximately three kilometers to the sea. Check into your beach cottage, unpack, grab your swimming suits and head for the swimming pool, surrounded by a labyrinth of rock lava walkways… flowers and orchids blooming everywhere. Now that you have had a swim you can order refreshing cool tropical drinks and just be in the moment… surrounded by nature and unusual scenic seascape.
Not so fast… take off your watches and simply watch the world go around. Take a relaxing outdoor shower and head back to the cottage for your afternoon nap. Watching the stress leave your body and mind you feel rejuvenated and wonder to yourself why you didn’t do this before. Your next assignment is to have dinner at dusk…how about fresh fish and local vegetables along with a cold beer or a glass of red wine to match the hue of the sunset. Not quite ready to go to bed yet…. you can sing along with karaoke, play pool/billiards, select a great movie from their extensive movie library, use this time just to read a great book or just be.
After a long day of doing absolutely nothing and beginning to yawn… you select a nightcap from their well stocked bar to celebrate the day and it’s lights-out. Nitey nite!

QUOTE: Creation is all things and us. It is us in relationship with all things. All things, the ones we see and the ones we do not; the whirling galaxies and the wild suns, the black holes and the microorganisms, the trees and the stars, the fish and the whales – the molten lava and the towering snow-capped mountains, the children we give birth to and their children, and theirs, and theirs, and theirs. ~ Matthew Fox
THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW: Lava rocks, also called igneous rocks, are created when lava or magma solidifies. The name igneous means fire, referring to the rocks’ origin. Igneous rock may form on or below the earth’s surface. Rocks formed below the surface are referred to as intrusive, or plutonic rocks, while those formed above are called extrusive or volcanic rock. The properties of igneous rocks can differ greatly, depending on how they were formed. Igneous rocks are classified into four groups based on their chemical properties; acidic, intermediate, basic, and ultrabasic. They can also be classified by their mineral components, felsic, intermediate, mafic, and ultramafic. These attributes correlate to the chemical properties.
THINGS YOU MAY WANT TO SAVE:Geodes from lava rocks! Luck is on your side… This is your time to find the mother lode and cash in. A geode is a type of hollow rock that, when broken open, reveals crystallized minerals on the inside. Jewelers and collectors alike prize geodes for their natural beauty. These special rocks take millions of years to form and take on many different appearances. You can categorize geodes by their method of formation, their size and shape, the crystals found on the inside and the geode’s place of origin.
