Pedasi is a small town in Los Santos province, Panama. When you look online you can find numbers that say the population of Pedasi ranges anywhere from 2500 – 4000. Whatever its actual size it has a lot to offer when you want to get away from a cold Canadian winter. In distance, it isContinue reading “PEDASI, PANAMA”

Loving Everything Beach
It’s hard to believe we have been in Pedasi for two months already!! When we left home we knew it would be a quiet winter with less “out and about”, and it has been. I am thankful that we are able to be away from the cold, snow and ice. From the beginning our mainContinue reading “Loving Everything Beach”
Living in Pedasi, Panama in Dec 2021
Moving to a new country, even for three months, takes a bit of time to adjust to the day to day living needs. We have been fortunate to join a What’sApp group that posts throughout the day on what is currently happening. What we have found (from previous trips also) is shopping and eating localContinue reading “Living in Pedasi, Panama in Dec 2021”
Coming back to Panama Dec 2021
After almost two years of not leaving Canada, we decided to “bite the bullet” and be a snowbird again. March 2020 we were in Portugal when we got the call to come home now or “you will have no covid insurance coverage”. At that time, who knew the world would become such a different place?Continue reading “Coming back to Panama Dec 2021”
2020, Memories of Portugal
One more day and we get picked up to start the first part of our journey home. We have virtually been in self isolation for the last week, and I have had way too much time for social media. Need to stay informed, but I am saturated. Daryl is encouraging me to stay busy doingContinue reading “2020, Memories of Portugal”
Sand City, Lagoa, Portugal 2020 (and a castle or two).
On our last outing before the world as we know it changed, we went to Sand City. the largest sand sculpture theme park in the world. It was absolutely incredible. Very few people there, we sure had no trouble keeping a good distance from others. We talked to a couple of the artists. The sculptureContinue reading “Sand City, Lagoa, Portugal 2020 (and a castle or two).”
Albufeira, Portugal 2020
I read that Albufeira is the ‘premier resort town’ of the Algarve and has a crazy night life. We spent a very pleasant day there, but we were long gone before any partying started!. The beach was absolutely beautiful. The beach is a long way down from the boardwalk. A first for me was anContinue reading “Albufeira, Portugal 2020”
Touring in the Algarve Portugal 2020
A sunny Saturday morning, a car and the Algarve to explore.What a winning combination. We had a few destinations in mind, but no “must sees”. There were several pottery shops along the roads. We made our first stop at Porches Pottery. The entire shop is a work of art. We actually got to see oneContinue reading “Touring in the Algarve Portugal 2020”
Sagres, Portugal, 2020
We went to the end of the world. Our first stop was Capo de Sao Vincente, this most southwesterly extremity of Europe, up until the 14th century, was known as the end of the world. It is wild, rugged, beautiful and windy. I read somewhere that in the 16th century the first “lighthouse” was aContinue reading “Sagres, Portugal, 2020”
11th Century Castle, Silves, Portugal, 2020
We took a trip to Silves to see the castle. It is only about 20 minutes drive from Praia da Rocha, and well worth going. Silves was originally the ancient capital of the Algarve. It was under the Moors from the 9th to the 12th century. We got our first glimpse of the castle sittingContinue reading “11th Century Castle, Silves, Portugal, 2020”
