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”
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”
