2019, Pedasi, Panama Daryl goes fishing

Daryl was up before day light and headed out for a day of fishing with our neighbour and his wife. I have to say nine hours out in the ocean in a small boat without a cover is not my idea of fun so I didn’t go!! But I am loving the pictures… and theContinue reading “2019, Pedasi, Panama Daryl goes fishing”

2019 Flowers around Pedasi

I have about a 7 or 8 minute walk to yoga. The pictures of most of these flowers and shrubs/trees have been taken on this short walk. There are so many shades of green and then the most brilliant splashes of color. Unfortunately I don’t know the plant names, maybe that will be my nextContinue reading “2019 Flowers around Pedasi”

2019, Food and other interesting little tidbits Pedasi, Panama

We found the cutest little juice bar…. I had my first green drink since arriving in Pedasi. Daryl had a papaya smoothie. And what did we talk about, the absolute best blender for making smoothies is a Vitamix. It did prompt us to go out and buy a blender….although not a Vitamix it works likeContinue reading “2019, Food and other interesting little tidbits Pedasi, Panama”

Sorrel….and Hibiscus, 2019 Pedasi

We have a lot of Hibiscus trees in our yard. Even though the flowers don’t last long, more keep coming. Daryl decided to make Sorrel. We found a recipe on-line and started the process. First he dried some Hibiscus petals. Then added to water. Next he added orange peel, a cinnamon stick and star anise.Continue reading “Sorrel….and Hibiscus, 2019 Pedasi”

Making Changa….with verbal instructions

Where in the world can you go and your yoga instructor brings freshly made changa for breakfast. It happened in Panama…. Pedasi to be exact. This was a new taste sensation for me and I loved it. I also got to bring some home so Daryl could have a taste. The ‘dough’ is made withContinue reading “Making Changa….with verbal instructions”

2019, Playa El Rincón, my favourite beach so far

We had heard there is a beautiful beach not far from Pedasi. We drove to the little town of Mirabé and headed down a side road. We took a nicely paved road that ended at the ocean. We went to Playa El Rincón during the week. We were the only car in the parking lot,Continue reading “2019, Playa El Rincón, my favourite beach so far”

2019 Critters around Pedasi

Somedays I realize a good camera would be such an asset. However, when you travel with only carry on luggage (love my Away Carry-on with pocket) suitcase, everything has to be small. I might need to get a new phone if this is going to be my primary camera…sure would like a good zoom andContinue reading “2019 Critters around Pedasi”

2019, Pedasi, out and about

Hard to beleive we have been in Pedesi for a month already. There are not many tourist activities to do, so Daryl and I have started driving down country roads and doing a bit of exploring. On our first outing we drove to Limon, just a couple of km from Pedasi, and took a sideContinue reading “2019, Pedasi, out and about”

Hi, my name is Ruth

In the summer of 2018 we retired. Our goal was to do a bit of travelling and we have. With absolutely more to come. We spent the first winter in Roatan. Before we left Calgary at the end of October 2018 I decided to keep a record or our trip…and started a blog. My attemptsContinue reading “Hi, my name is Ruth”

2019, Exploring

We went exploring the area around Pedasi, with the goal to end up in Playa Venao, a surf beach 30 km from Pedasi. We ended up driving 160 km through some of the most beautiful scenery imaginable. Lots of rolling hills and a road that went straight up, then straight down. Yep, you can seeContinue reading “2019, Exploring”
