SAILORS SETTING OFF FOR SIGHTS UNKNOWN

Today, was laundry day in and around the rain drops.  It does rain alot in this area....the southern tip of the country is know for it and we have had our share of it the last week.  Not worry The White Shell II is nice and clean and the laundry nearly dry. LOL  Today we also walked down the street and found a great super mercado   LA COSTA  which offered us a free ride home after we shopped.  What a treat!  The service was incredible including the butcher who answered all my questions and even helped me pick out the best coffee.  Complete with toys, crayons and toothbrushes to trade in Panama along our route we stowed all away and made for the FISH HOOK Restaurant for a lovely supper overlooking the bay.

Tomorrow bright and early we will take on some new clean diesel and set out of the country heading for  Panama.   Not sure when we will have net connection again so know that we will be well taken care of and will check in with you all as soon as we can. (my plan is to do some writing while we travel so hoping that works I promise and update on The Wedding, THE THURSDAY NIGHT LADIES CARD EVENT,   a new link called TRAVEL PAD and whatever else comes along.  please know that it is difficult to get at the sitting down and writing these days as it just seems that it is either too hot, too late or I am too tired.  Honest!   The time is just clicking by.  Please pray for my getting pen to paper!!

Good nite all.

WHAT TO BRING HOME FROM OUR TRAVELS?

As we travel Panama   as in other  countries there are many many tourist spots  with "things"to buy and bring home  to you all.   Ahh! the decision are many  and can get rather difficult.   Sometimes the memorabilia is best bought with the person making the memory--if you know what I mean.  We do love to shop at least some of us. LOL   The thrill really is in the hunt right ladies?  and for us grandmas  it is an exercise of love for the "kidz"".  As this Abula searches for just the right color or item I think of the child I am shopping for:  the joy of remembering the voice, the smile and the bright eyes ........ahhhh so sweet!   There are a few authentic crafts here in Panama such as  the Embera Baskets made in the Indian Community  the Emberá basket is a one-of-kind piece and is the result of many hours of labor as well as an expression of the artist's own individu...

SAILORS SEEKING SECOND SIGHT OF PERLAS ISLAS

Image
The last few months have certainly been filled with many enjoyable days and peaceful nights We arrived in Panama City in awe of the sight of such a huge skyline of massive buildings which is certainly impressive night or day.  Upon closer inspection it is just another huge city filled with business, malls and people....lots of people.  Some not so fortunate as the large areas of low income buildings is large and not safe to travel in.    Our time with Canadian friends, Roz and Dave was fantastic.   We were pleased that they enjoyed themselves so much and fell into "Sailing life"very well.  The White Shell lent herself to two more bodies on board and all was well. From what the pictures tell you we had a great time sailing to The Perlas Islands, exploring, swimming, fishing and just plain relaxing.  David did amazing things with the guitar and the fishing rod. LOL  It took us a few days to regroup after their departure...

PICTURES ---ONE IS WORTH A MILLION WORDS

Brother Rob and Sister Irene have reported difficulties in viewing the recent pictures of our adventure.  Just checked out to see if all is well and this is what I found: On the right hand side of the blog page you will see a list of pages that are offered on the blog for YOUR viewing pleasure.  As you click on each one of those pages you will find different topics.  Looking for photos you must go to the page entitled  OUR STORY IN FOCUS.  Click on that page and you should be redirected to our Photo Albums that are all saved on our GOOGLE ACCOUNT.  I have personally gone over each album and set it as being a PUBLIC view so you should be able to view the most recent pictures.  They are saved chronologically.  You will see the album cover picture and when you click on it you will be given options to view it as a slide show.  PLEASE TRY IT OUT AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU FIND. I have constant Internet right now...........a little modem by Digic...
