down on the farm in panama

I will spare you the details of the cow roping and branding.   you can practically  hear these cows whispering … “don’t eat me”.   Right?  i do. On a happier note, aren’t these animals gorgeous!!?? Hope your monday was superb!

Sometimes what you think will be a quiet weekend in the country of Panama is anything but.  This weekend I watched a branding (sad, near tears experience), attended  a sweet 100th birthday party with the president and two ex presidents, went to a few baseball games, and watched children rope cows.  eventful.   the guest […]

salt water cures

{just 45 minutes outside of panama city} I know a cure for everything.  Salt water. in one way or the other. Sweat, or tears, or the salt sea. -Karen Blixen-

New Years in Las Tablas, Panama

we spent New Years in Las Tablas, Panama. It is a bit like mardi gras in new orleans.  except there is one square, 3 floats, and they go round and round for hours while the queens shake their hips and blow kisses.  the people take sides- depending one which side of the street you are […]
