Our road trip continued to Anton Valley. We went to visit an orchid “farm”. It was an incredible display even though many plants were not flowering, many were. One of the things I found surprising was the number of tiny, tiny orchids. They could be so easy to overlook. The flowers on this plant wereContinue reading “El Valle de Anton, Orchids, Panama, 2020”

Santa Catalina
We left Pedasi late morning and drove to Santa Catalina. It took us about five hours. The road was in great shape except for the last half hour or so. It is a small rustic town and the road ends at the ocean. We stayed at Mama Ines hotel. The rooms were small but clean.Continue reading “Santa Catalina”
Playa….beach…Nature 2020 Panama
Mother Nature has been on display for the last several days. The first time we went to Playa Rincon it was calm with a massively large beach area. A couple of days ago we went when it was windy, choppy and the tide was partially in. Almost unrecognizable as the same beach, What a differenceContinue reading “Playa….beach…Nature 2020 Panama”
2020, Beaches and more, Pedasi
We had not yet been to Playa La Garita. This beach has rocky areas. The day we went it was super windy. A beautiful day to walk the beach, always being mindful of the waves. We also went to Punta Mala. Again, beautiful but oh so windy. The picture above and below are basically takenContinue reading “2020, Beaches and more, Pedasi”
2020, Going to Church in Pedasi
Sunday morning I went to a “gringo” church with Marie, we walked on the back road to avoid the heavy traffic…..the 3 or 4 cars that would normally pass us.. lol. It is quite a scenic route, horse and all. It is only about a 10 minute walk from the house. Even at nine inContinue reading “2020, Going to Church in Pedasi”
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”
2019, Christmas 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. The wise men were outside….and the road was blocked. There was a Christmas Parade, the information said it was to start at 5 PM.Continue reading “2019, Christmas in Pedasi”
2019 Playas….beaches…Pedasi
This time of the year makes me wonder if I am crazy for not being home for Christmas. Sure miss those grandkids. And then we go for a drive and as I look at the splendour all around I think maybe we are ok. This is just a random view from the car. We haveContinue reading “2019 Playas….beaches…Pedasi”
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”
