January 2020, Marie visits Panama

December 30 Daryl and I drove to Panama City, we were picking Marie up the next day. There is a structure being built that has the most interesting siding. Ever time we pass it, it is a little further along. It is a long drive from Pedasi to Panama City, and we only stopped forContinue reading “January 2020, Marie visits Panama”

2019, Living in Pedasi

One of our favourite activities since we have been in Pedasi is walking the beach. The sand is fine and well packed, and seemingly endless. Yesterday we went for a walk and we were the only people, although lots of birds especially pelicans. There was also this little guy. There are lots of pretty sweetContinue reading “2019, Living in Pedasi”

Christmas in Pedasi is celebrated with gusto. By mid December the church and town square was nicely decorated. A large nativity scene was set up on one side of the church.

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.

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”

We found the cutest little juice bar…. I had my first green drink since arriving in Pedasi. Daryl had a papaya smoothie.

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”
