This is our first year being in Pedasi during the month of March. While there are always lots of colourful shrubs and trees here, it seemed, come March there was an explosion of colour. I have no idea what any of those shrubs are called. They sure are pretty and eye popping. Some of theContinue reading “When the trees bloom”

Our Attempt At Growing Plants in Pedasi
This has been a different winter for us, feeling less like a tourist and more ‘normal’ living. The first house that we stayed in had some lovely shrubs and bushes. I particularly liked the red ginger plant. There was also a pretty pink variegated hibiscus, plus a bunch more. We thought as we were goingContinue reading “Our Attempt At Growing Plants in Pedasi”
A Road Trip to Oria Arriba
A couple of days ago, we left our house early in the morning to go to Spanish class. Our road was being paved but we were able to get out of the area. A couple of hours later we wanted to go home but impossible. Every access point blocked and was going to be forContinue reading “A Road Trip to Oria Arriba”
Visiting Venao, Panama
Venao is such a beautiful little town. When we had family visiting a month or so ago, the three of them….not me for sure…. took surfing lessons. Apparently it is a good workout although I have no firsthand knowledge 🙂 When you take lessons, you go to the far end of the beach where theContinue reading “Visiting Venao, Panama”
Time for a road trip
This has been a different year for us in Panama with fewer adventures than usual. That might have had something to do with the time consuming process of residency, now that’s a story for another day. Yesterday we went to Cambutal to do a little exploring. Daryl had been there to go on a fishingContinue reading “Time for a road trip”
The quest for a swimming beach
We had been told there is a beach quite close to Playita, out favourite swimming place, that was just about as calm, at Villa Marina. Villa Marina is a lodge and condo development between Playa Playita and Playa Vanao, with a very short drive between them. It is an absolutely stunning location. The grounds wereContinue reading “The quest for a swimming beach”
Life’s simple pleasures
Playita Resort is about a half hour from Pedasi. We have never stayed at the resort but pay a fee and go to the beach. There are lots of beaches just a short distance from Pedasi that are fabulous for walking. For me, they are not for swimming as the waves are too big duringContinue reading “Life’s simple pleasures”
Price Smart, just like going to Costco
This is our first trip to Panama where we are staying more than 3 months. In Pedasi you can get pretty well everything you need, and most of what you want. But maybe this year it’s time to look a little further afield. So many people have told us about Price Smart, kind of equivalentContinue reading “Price Smart, just like going to Costco”
Pedasi: Our first little while, November 2022
It is hard to believe it’s almost two weeks since we left Calgary. We arrived in the rain and the first night here felt cold as it was only 24C. I actually wrapped up in a blanket on the couch. It might have also had something to do with fatigue! Since them no more feelingContinue reading “Pedasi: Our first little while, November 2022”
Pedasi here we come again
We left our house in Calgary about 3:45 AM to get to the airport in plenty of time for our 6 AM flight (thank you Heather, much appreciated). It was so cold, at least -23C. Even though we were going to be in Panama City by evening, I decided to wear a warm jacket ‘justContinue reading “Pedasi here we come again”
