Summer is a great time to enjoy Sunsport — especially for those nearby looking for a relaxing escape, even on short notice.
We’re currently refreshing and enhancing our rental units to make your stay even more comfortable and enjoyable, and these improvements are already increasing interest across the property.
While summer offers flexibility, availability can still become limited — particularly for weekends and our most desirable locations. Early reservations also provide the best selection of sites and accommodations.
A list of available options is in the office, and our website features photos, descriptions, and a property map to help you plan your next visit… gohere.
See details in this newsletter and on the website for seasonal agreement details.
The Nature Foot Trail and the Golf Cart Trail through Sunsport's jungle are becoming more beautiful daily. The Lotus Pond between the Labyrinth and the Meditation Field is now in full bloom. Have an adventure exploring the trails north of the circumference road. Enjoy Sunsport during the longest days of the year.

Malanga!
The most common scientific name for malanga is Xanthosoma sagittifolium. It belongs to the Araceae (arum) family and is often referred to as tannia, yautía, or new cocoyam. While X. sagittifolium is the primary species, other Xanthosoma species (like X. atrovirens) are also commonly referred to as malanga.
Malanga is a versatile root vegetable commonly prepared as crispy fried fritters (frituras) or creamy, savory soup. Key recipes include grating it with egg and garlic for frying, or boiling and pureeing it with butter and milk for a creamy puree. The root is known for its earthy, nutty flavor and acts similarly to potatoes but with a superior crunch.

Permaculture is a philosophy of design for creating a sustainable human culture. That is, it's a way of thinking about how we set up the support systems around us: shelter, food, water, energy, society and business. Well designed permaculture systems allow us to live as a beneficial part of the ecosystems around us.

Depictions of nudity are rampant throughout ancient Greek and Roman forms of art; so commonplace, in fact, that the “ideal form” as exemplified by the gods was a highly athletic, physically strong, nude male. This was a distinct Greco-Roman tradition as other ancient sculptures, like that of the Egyptians and Persians, were not crafted in this manner; “to the Greeks [nudity] was the mark of a hero”.
The choice to depict their greatest heroes and gods in the nude was not on a whim, but rather part of a deeply rooted philosophical and cultural ideology in which the human body was celebrated rather than shamed. Athletic competitions at religious festivals were done in the nude, and these demonstrated a love and idolization of the body in ways that were “unparalleled”
Roman, Imperial period, ca. 2nd century CE. A fabulous bronze figure of Apollo Kitharoidos or Citharoedus – a depiction of Apollo, the Greek and Roman god of archery, music, and prophecy, holding a kithara (Latin cithara) or lyre. Nude, the athletic deity stands in contrapposto with his weight on his left leg, the right relaxed and bent at the knee. He holds a plectrum in his lowered right hand, while he raises his left hand, which would have originally grasped a kithara. Gazing to his right, his idealistic visage is crowned by a centrally parted coiffure bound in a fillet and tied in a chignon as 4 long braids fall to his shoulders.
Niobid Statue Nude Woman Roman Baths Thermae Rome Sculpture
Roman, late Republic to early Imperial Period, ca. 1st century BCE to 1st century CE. A charming cast-bronze figurine of a fighting dwarf used for entertainment by upper-class citizens. The ithyphallic figure stands nude with a macrophallus draped between stunted legs, exhibits impressive musculature on his thighs, abdomen, and chest, and holds his arms as if wielding a shield and steadying a spear just prior to loosing it through the air. His masculine countenance displays silvered leaded-bronze eyes and furrowed brows as if consumed by the intensity of battle, with a lengthy beard flowing across his pectoral muscles, and a matted coiffure from wearing a helmet.
