It’s Complicated
One of the reasons we decided to visit Panama was the fact that it is a UNESCO world heritage site. This seemed like a good thing. It’s hard to object to something that brings investment and tourist dollars to an … Continue reading
Street Art
We are getting ready to head out on our next trip, so this is probably a good time to finish the two remaining posts I’d planned about our trip to Panama. The first post is the easy one, dealing with … Continue reading

Sun
We all know the sun is far stronger in the tropics than in The Great White North. You must wear sunscreen – lots of sunscreen. Yesterday, one of us was very careful applying sunscreen. The other was negligent. So it … Continue reading
What A Difference A Day Makes
This is what we saw as we left the house early yesterday. Last week’s storm deposited another foot and a half of snow, and with the temperature around -20 Celsius that snow is not going anywhere. But a mere ten … Continue reading
