Mike and Chris walking our other lot after we had the coffee cleared
Looking from midway at the top to the bottom of the cleared property - you can see Alto Boquete in the distance - beautiful lights at night - the trees that you see are all orange trees
Looking across at our house - our second lot is about 20 feet higher
A new jazz club in town
In Panama you don't need a prescription to buy pet medications - you just point and hope that what you think you're getting is what you get
This is Melo our local hardware store
One of our favorite restaurants is the Hibiscus - the owner and chef is French
We buy beer and coke by the case - $7.00 for a case of beer and $5.50 for a case of Coke
This is the Mercado - we go here about once a week and buy fruits and vegetables - a week's supply cost about $5.00
These are the fishmongers - we stop here a couple times a week - great mahi and red snapper and sea base - average cost is $1.50 per pound - the fish is brought in fresh daily
Our Boquete one lane bridge - cars take turns crossing - according to our local paper they will be making it a two lane bridge soon
Breakfast at Olga's with Chris and Catherine - one of our favoriate morning spots - Olga serves gringo style breakfasts
New bakery in town - Shalom Bakery - we've tried a few of their items and liked them
Chris and Catherine at the Palto Alto restaurant - Chris and Catherine are both second year dental students at Temple University - their visit was a much needed break
Saturday we went to Valcan Baru National Park with Chris and Catherine - it is a rain forest just out of town - the scenery was spectacular the next few pictures are of our trek
This unfinished house was being built many years ago - before it was completed the wife of the guy was building it died - he didn't finish the house and has since died - his children refuse to sell the property
Chris and Catherine - even though we haven't had rain in over a month the streams seem to have plenty of water

Mocha, our lastest addition has discovered the bedroom.
Buddy tolerates Mocha.
Mocha discovers the cubbies in Mike's desk.
Noche and Mocha play constantly.
Sissy joins in the fun too.
I love the composition of colors.
We have had two months of unbelievable winds. I've kept track and we haven't had more than 5 calm days in the last 35 days. We also haven't had any rain. A lot of plants in the garden have been shredded - I'm told that they will recover, however it sure doesn't make me enjoy this time of year. I much prefer the rains. We haven't been able to eat on the terrace for quite some time. Today we have calm and I'm so glad because Chris, our son and his girl friend, Catherine have arrived for a short visit.
We have lost a few trees to the high winds and many plants will have to be cut to the ground because of all the shredded leaves.
