We are actually staying in a town called Praia de Rocha, which is a new modern tourist town a couple of kilometres from Portimao. On Sunday we decided to do a walking tour of the old town. The streets are narrow, cobblestoned and beautiful. We found a marked tour on google and followed it aroundContinue reading “Portimão Portugal 2020 Town Walking Tour”

London 2020
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”
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”

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.

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”
2019 Flowers around Pedasi
I have about a 7 or 8 minute walk to yoga. The pictures of most of these flowers and shrubs/trees have been taken on this short walk. There are so many shades of green and then the most brilliant splashes of color. Unfortunately I don’t know the plant names, maybe that will be my nextContinue reading “2019 Flowers around Pedasi”
