Panama

We traveled to Panama (the country) this past week. We had a great time and saw some interesting places. One of the pictures above is from the observation deck at Miraflores Locks on the Panama Canal. In the background, you can see a massive ship getting pushed into position to squeeze through the lock.

The other pictures are from our hotel room in downtown Panama City. Thomas liked the view (there was a construction site next to our hotel) and Claire enjoyed rolling around on the carpet (we have tile floors here). It was nice to see a new place, but we were all happy to get home to Costa Rica

It's a Charlie Brown Christmas...

Christmas is a BIG deal here in Costa Rica. Stores began displaying Christmas supplies in October, and nearly every house was decorated with lights and trees by the middle of November. We wanted a tree for our house, however, we knew it would not last long with two chicos under 3. The only small tree I could find was this cheap, M.i.C. table topper. It's not exaclty was we were looking for, but it will get the job done... this year.

Thank for checking in on the Blog. I'm sorry I do not keep it updated more regularly. We have a no-speed internet connection.... it is like communicating with refrigerator poetry. I am thankful we can connect from home, though.

I hope all is well.
