The Bloom is Off the Rose

Been a while since I blogged...

Not much is making me scurry off to the computer to blog on yet another quirk about Panama.

And I noticed this.

Actually, I was feeling guilty for not blogging. I have been dedicated to informing and entertaining you about this strange land for over 2 years but not much is coming up anymore.

I want to have something to say. I love writing a blog about this Adventure in Panama.

So I took a look at what is up. And discovered...

I have truly arrived in Panama.

Yes, I do notice all the quirks and idiosyncrasies of life here. But they are fleeting thoughts that don't "stick" in my mind. So when I think about writing a blog, not much comes up.

I love this crazy place! I love (and hate) the weather. I love the local people. I love the gringos, well most of them anyway. I love the strangeness of the vegetation...the jungle, don't you know. I love discovering all the things that can not be known living in the US...they are transparent to us when living in the US.

There is a new normal now.

For example, we had a Boys-Day-Out yesterday. Three of us loaded into a car and went on a trip to the BIG city of David (125,000 population). We wandered around 6 stores, picking up all the stuff that can't be found in Boquete. This took about 3 hours...hey, it takes time to find stuff here, damn it!

We ate lunch. We laughed, we howled, we had a great time! I love these guys!

But this is now a normal activity. We do it every month or so.

My new normal is Panama.

I guess I have arrived...finally!
