London 2020, Day 2

As we only had two full days in London, we decided the best way to see as much as possible, was to buy a two day hop-on hop-off bus pass. Initially we “did the tour” and listened to the commentary. It was interesting, and so much information. We drove past Westminister Abby and the churchContinue reading “London 2020, Day 2”

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”

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”

El Valle de Anton, Orchids, Panama, 2020

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”

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”
