We had a couple of days at home, thanks Heather and Mike for the wonderful hospitality. Before we actually had a chance to catch our breath we were off to London. I actually slept for a coupe hours so wasn’t dead when we arrived. We took the Gatwick Express to Victoria Station. It was quick.Continue reading “London 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”
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”

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 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, Food and other interesting little tidbits Pedasi, Panama
We found the cutest little juice bar…. I had my first green drink since arriving in Pedasi. Daryl had a papaya smoothie. And what did we talk about, the absolute best blender for making smoothies is a Vitamix. It did prompt us to go out and buy a blender….although not a Vitamix it works likeContinue reading “2019, Food and other interesting little tidbits Pedasi, Panama”
Sorrel….and Hibiscus, 2019 Pedasi
We have a lot of Hibiscus trees in our yard. Even though the flowers don’t last long, more keep coming. Daryl decided to make Sorrel. We found a recipe on-line and started the process. First he dried some Hibiscus petals. Then added to water. Next he added orange peel, a cinnamon stick and star anise.Continue reading “Sorrel….and Hibiscus, 2019 Pedasi”
