We’re heading back to Panama next week to visit some friends and check on our house construction and business investments. This will be my 7th trip in 20 months.

Last Friday’s Ottawa Citizen had a great article on Panama. A young woman visited Panama alone and found great people, an island paradise, and beautiful mountains covered with lush rain forest.

The dry season has finally arrived, just like flicking a switch! On December 25th it rained for most of the day but in the evening we could feel the wind beginning to turn northerly. We woke up on the 26th to a gorgeous blue sky and the same thing again today. The northerly winds seem [...]
