Whirlwind of Activity

For the last 2 years, we have had few guests.

This year the dam is breaking and people are visiting. 2 visits with our son already this year. Now one of our best friends is here. More coming in June and July, and I wouldn't be surprised if our son doesn't make it back again this year.

Wow! So many friends! It is always a pleasure to show people our new home.

With guests comes activity. This is a good thing! And, when the visit is over, I can appreciate my new retirement once again at a greater level.

Yesterday we went to the beach. I love this part of showing Panama to friends! The beaches are miles and miles long, very wide and ALMOST no one is around. All this empty beach all to ourselves!

Today, I am finishing up some business in David and we will purchase a bus ticket for our friend's return to Panama City.

There is a never ending stream of "stuff" to do here associated with simply living here. The paperwork mill moves on and on and on...

We often wonder how someone could live here with a full time job. All the extra errands and tasks that come with living in a 3rd World nation take up plenty of time. And we have friends that are still working and making it all happen.

Amazing!

Yesterday we had torrential rains...the first of the season. This morning, we awoke to fog and a blanket of thick dew on everything.

Beautiful...quiet...birds singing...still...calm...

Now, time to get the day started.
