I had never made a pizza crust using plantains. One day Daryl was reading a blog by an expat and came across a recipe. Just maybe it is possible to have a gluten free pizza crust in our little town of Pedasi. During last trip here a chef made a hamburger bun out of plantainContinue reading “Learning new baking skills”

Octopus Anyone? Pedasi Dec 2021
The last time the ‘shrimp guy’ came by, he was also selling octopus, or as he called it ‘pulpo’. Although we have eaten octopus, and have seen lots of pictures of giant octopus from Daryl scuba diving trips, we have never had a raw one before. So do we buy it or not? Of courseContinue reading “Octopus Anyone? Pedasi Dec 2021”
Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder, Playa Los Destiladeros
As Covid rages through North America and Europe, we are living a very quiet life here in this little town in Panama. Our major source of entertainment, and exercise, its beach walking. The beach looks different in sunshine or cloud, low or high tide and calm or stormy seas. It’s all beautiful. Yesterday we wentContinue reading “Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder, Playa Los Destiladeros”
Beach Walking At Dusk
Yesterday I went to yoga at 0715 hr., it was a little cloudy with a temperature of 27C, and I thought it felt a little cool. After arriving home a couple of hours later, I was listening to Calgary news, the announcer said it was -27C with the windchill. That is a 54C degree difference!!Continue reading “Beach Walking At Dusk”
Birders Paradise, Pedasi Panama, Dec 14, 2021
Birding in and around Pedasi is paradise for those interested, but you need two thing that I don’t have, patience and a good camera. Every day as I sit outside in the bohio, I hear all kinds of bird sounds and see flashes of bright blue or yellow or red as a bird goes zippingContinue reading “Birders Paradise, Pedasi Panama, Dec 14, 2021”
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”
Saying Good Bye to Panama 2020
Our time in Panama has come to an end. Three months was enough for us to do a fair bit of exploring. We were fortunate enough to meet wonderful people and do lots of interesting things. We had returned our rental car the previous evening, so bright and early the next morning we took ourContinue reading “Saying Good Bye to Panama 2020”
Butterflies, Anton Valley, Panama, 2020
On our recent trip to Anton Valley we visited a butterfly place. I don’t remember the number of different types of butterflies there are in Panama, but it is lots. They are so pretty, and colourful. Just getting there was a beautiful walk too. This young man had a lot of information to share, fromContinue reading “Butterflies, Anton Valley, Panama, 2020”
El Valle de Anton, Panama, 2020
El Valle de Anton, Anton Valley, is a little town nestled in an extinct volcano. We left Santa Catalina, another little town on the coast, and it was incredible hot. Four or five hours later when we arrived in Anton Valley the temperature was considerably cooler. Hot when the sun was shining, much cooler atContinue reading “El Valle de Anton, Panama, 2020”
