Tomorrow is December 1. Therefore we are only 25 days away from Christmas. I decided to have a little fun and have a contest for students in the Chiriquí area. I seem to be starting to have a fair number of Panamanians that have learned about Chiriquí Chatter.
As a test to see how many, [...]

Tonight is the big night, for food that I am anticipating being a gourmet experience and an evening topped off with a jazz concert. I’ll be there and no doubt I will capture a few photos for the ones that can’t make it.
If you haven’t bought your tickets, see my previous post for directions.

Today, I stumbled onto a very interesting blog called Lost on Purpose.
This is a travel blog written by two young people that are really living their dream. I have spent about an hour on their website and will spend quite a few more.

This morning I have loaded over 100 photos into the Chiriquí [...]

It was a beautiful day and perfect for a walk so let’s go.

Besides being the Independence from Spain Holiday, it is also the day that recognizes the firemen of David. This could be true all over Panama, but I do not know that. I heard yesterday that there was going to be the annual Parade of the Firemen in the evening. Since I had never seen it, [...]

On my journey down an obscure path on the Internet today, I came upon this quote by Denis Leary. In your opinion was he an optimist, pessimist or realist?
Most people think life sucks, and then you die. Not me. I beg to differ. I think life sucks, then you get cancer, then your dog dies, [...]

My good friend, Leena, in Finland, took the photo above. It was 3:00 PM when she made her way down to the river to take what she considers to be a poor photo. Leena has one of the best photo blogs that I frequent. One thing that makes it special is that she takes the [...]
