Important Note: Located in the Caribbean Sea 40 miles off the country's north coast, Roatan and the other Bay Islands are physically and to a large extent psychologically separated from mainland Honduras. The political events you may read about online or see on TV are occurring primarily in the capital, Tegucigalpa, hundreds of kilometers to the south. Everything is calm here in Roatan, our tranquil island life is going on as normal, and visitors are coming and leaving as usual.

majestic rocks
Many of the rock formations at Paya Bay have incredible character. The larger of these two boulders is about 7 feet tall. This pair will be viewable from the Sky Trail, currently under construction. Paya Bay Resort, Roatan Honduras.

Paya Bay's top 2009 accomplishments
A new plunge pool (yes, a new pool!), a new 46-foot pleasure boat (yes, a new boat!), a "jungle gym," and even a new swimming lagoon are among some of the improvements we made at Paya Bay Resort this past year. In all, we've made over $150,000 worth of enhancements to the resort these past twelve months.

Lucy and Jim
Last year, our friend and repeat client, Jim's, arrival marked the beginning of the high season at Paya Bay Resort. We fully expect the same to be the case this year.
Ms. Ida's in the 'hood
The center of tropical depression Ida is forecasted to enter Honduran territory from Nicaragua today. As it moves north, the storm is expected to remain well to the east of the Bay Islands, but should be the source of some much-needed rain.

quote of the day
Secretary Clinton and Assistant Secretary Shannon have assured me that the US will recognize the outcome of the Honduran elections regardless of whether Manuel Zelaya is reinstated. I take our administration at their word that they will now side with the Honduran people and end their focus on the disgraced Zelaya.
- U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (R, SC).
the paya trail on a drizzly day
A walk on the Paya Trail is a favorite activity of many of our guests. The lush nature and the rugged beauty will awaken your senses and lift your spirits. Paya Bay Resort, Roatan Honduras.
quote of the day
I believe that restitution is not possible because that would mean Congress accepts that what occurred on June 28 was a disruption of the constitutional order -- what is commonly called a coup d'etat -- which would require legal action against the very same congressional deputies.
- Óscar García, President of the Honduran Bar Association
Garcia added that "Congress can resolve a reinstatement or not, but any citizen can initiate a legal recourse against the congressional decision in the Department of Justice or the Supreme Court. Ultimately it will be the Supreme Court that has the last word, because if they declare unconstitutional anything resolved by Congress, no matter what the resolution is, it will be annulled. It is therefore important to listen to both the Department of Justice and the Supreme Court because in the end everything will end up there."

The Supreme Court will strongly adhere to the Constitution. There will be no restitution. It's simple: if you break the law (multiple times), and refuse to obey the courts, you don't get to be president. Zelaya is S.O.L.
