A day at the beach

Who?  Bob  Where?  People who have never lived in the tropics may think the only trees, especially along the beach, are palm trees.  Not so.  In truth, although palms certainly exist in large numbers on Panamanian beaches, there is a much greater variety.  Above, you see a very common example, but more importantly, you see more than a tree or a beach.  You see a sample of the warm tranquility that we so much love in Panama. This photo was taken near the little town of Pedasí on the Azueros peninsula of central Panama.

You can keep your snow, we’ll settle for sand

Who?  Jeff Lane  Where?  Who needs expensive toys when you are young and there is plenty of sand around?  Kids up north may burrow through snow drifts, but kids in Panama can do the same without wearing heavy winter clothes!  These young men are enjoying the sand of the beaches of Isla Taboga (Taboga Island), also called the “Island of Flowers”, just a few miles off the coast near Panama City.
