Panama Week 13

The 

On our Sunday evening walk, we met a lovely family from Panama City fixing up their beach house. She is a civil engineer and the family all speak very good English. The husband introduced himself by saying "I am Panama Fidel, not Cuba Fidel....I'm a good guy". Too funny!

After the walk we saw our friends from Quebec who surprised us with a picnic on the beach.

With a cooler full of cold beer, wine, rum, sprite, limes, potato chips, cheese and crackers, we sat and watched the tide come in, the sun go down and the cooler empty. We had a lot of laughs and hope to visit Quebec City next year to see our new friends, Aline and Michel.

On Friday Bill had his last appointment at the dentist office in Coronado. He was 4 hours in the chair, but his beautiful dentist was with him all along. They both were tired by the end of the session but happy with the results. Coronado Dental Clinic, Dr. Julia De Leon Cano.

Our last week was spent saying good-byes to all the amazing people we met during our 3 months. Plans to reconnect and hopes to cross paths with all sometime, somewhere.

There has been a change in the weather. Lots of clouds, colder ocean temperatures and what appears to be a great migration of birds....maybe cormorants on mass on their way to Lake Ontario. The advent of the rainy season in Panama is a cue for the birds to start moving.

It has been a fabulous visit to Panama and our experiences of the country, cultures and people are all special and memorable. Maybe, someday we will have the pleasure to return.
