BACK IN BOQUETE



Abuelo had his shoes shined in David, they really needed it.

THIS IS THE LAST POST ON THIS BLOG, GO TO:



He went in all the creviches and cleaned it first with a toothbrush.

Jacaranda

Bromelia       




 Tom Bot's castle



When we had a juice, Naranjillo, at Cabanas Sabrina, we didn't have to pay. I guess we looked exhausted, we are out of shape again. Or I need that haircut really bad! We bought lettuce and tomatoes at an organic farm.

2 DAYS GREW INTO 2 WEEKS AT HOTEL HELICONIA



Who was the only person on the beach?

Coffeebreak with "El Tute Cafe"


Flor de Jamaica

Abuelo, took this picture from the third Rancho, just after breakfast.


We had a quick lunch at Restaurante Cielo Zulis




TV antenna, all the way on top of the bamboo

Rio Malena, do you see the crocodiles coming? Well is was the high tide moving in.





Had some rain on the beach, strange the rain is cooler than the air and the sea


Hotel Heliconia

Dad  at the kitchen rancho.
Wish I took more pictures of the Ranchos, but I was to busy with looking at butterflies, hummingbirds and other birds and flowers.


And the kitchen where Loes makes her great dinners.  I made banana bread, lemon squares and Bretonse koek in her kitchen.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARA



Saturday at the"Bullfighting", young Miura cattle in Las Lajas





                                    
The toreador



Friday and Saturday in Las Lajas, what a party that was.
All the horses are for you Mara!
Finish this post later, but we go for breakfast here now. I'm weeks behind in blogging, but hope to catch up. Be patient.

The Supermart. Most people came by horse and not by car.


In Panama you see lots of more than one rider on a horse





We were waiting for the steers, it took a while.

Frans and a young boy who fell with his face in barbed wire. He is a wild one!





This is a very special pass for a toreador!















Peekaboo!


And the band in a truck, driving up and down the mainstreet
