Here are a couple of photos of some kids having the greatest time [...]

Yesterday, I had the opportunity of going over to the San Felix area of Chiriquí to see some bulls being rounded up and sold to one of the local supermarkets. The morning started early, as the departure time was 6:00 AM. Now I usually wake up at 5:30, but I have to admit to being [...]

As I was leaving PriceMart today, I noticed some function going on in the field next to the Chiriqui Mall. I went over and saw that they were having a rodeo competition for kids. From the barrel I take it that this is the Rodeo Kids of Panama.
I captured 4 photos and a short video [...]

It is amazing to me how much the temperature drops when we get a hard rain. I bet the current temperature is down in the seventies. I am one of those people that really enjoy a good rain, and I am getting all the pleasure I can handle this afternoon. It is a rain like [...]
