Adventures in Panamaland - A Pictorial Pause


Before we carry on with updates about our ongoing adventures, I thought I'd share some pics that I couldn't post earlier. I hope you enjoy these, just a fraction of the pics I've taken so far.











Stay tuned for more "Adventures in Panamaland"!

Great pics! That last one is absolutely gorgeous - the reflection kind of looks like a frozen lake with wispy snow.

00dozo: Frozen lake, snow? Brrr. It's one of the infinity/horizon pools here. At sunrise. Gorgeous, isn't it.

Those are really good. I really liked them all except the one with the flat stomach driving the golf-cart.

I hate her.

Can't say why, but I just do.

Yeah, those are pretty. If you like those great architecture, blue skies, gorgeous beaches and pretty people kind of photographs. And really, who likes those?

Quirks, Quirks, Quirks now, now, that kid can't be much more than 16. My 11 year-old nephew took that pic. Good eye, eh?

Nicky: Yeah, you're right. But it's not a bad way to pass the day. It seems to be workin' for me.

DB: It depends on the time of day and the tide. If you get down past the brown sandy surface it can be black. I'm glad the pics convey a little taste of Panama. It's quite beautiful here.

Linda: These pictures don't begin to convey the beauty of Panama and the contrasts that exist in the country: skyscrapers in Panama City, the poorer districts, the resorts and beaches, the jungles and so on. I'm in paradise. It'll me hard to return to snow and -8C weather!

Twittercide is Painless

Hey, don't forget to stop by my caption contest - Pause, Ponder and Pun - and leave a caption. You might win exciting prizes. Well, no prizes really but significant web cred to have been awarded the I Be Hangin' With Dufus citation. Oh yeah, baby! Meanwhile on with today's post...

The debate on the positive versus negative impacts of social media networking continues, this time around the Catholic Church has waded in.

Me? In addition to having friends in the real world, I find such social media as Twitter, Facebook and my blog an interesting way to interact with new people across all social strata, age groups and geographic locations. Indeed, I think it's the technological equivalent of Walt Disney's philosophy: It's A Small World, After All. (I stress philosophy and not that annoying theme park song)





Couldn't watch it all, could you? But I digress...


I thought the Catholic Church ran out of feet to stand on a long time ago. But apparently it has as many feet…

Exercising My Rights (And My Lefts)

I confess, I'm not the most energetic of people. After all I'm a guy whose Facebook status reads "I'm not lazy. I'm just energy efficient". In fact, few people know but if you look up couch potato in the dictionary it has my picture.

At my house, we're so lazy even my cat is a couch potato.

But I've decided it's high time to do something about it. I've decided to undertake cross-country skiing. And, speaking of which, after our little session this morning, an undertake-r is something I could have really used. We're quite fortunate where we live. The ski trails are a five-minute walk (more exercise!). But miracle of miracles, I stayed upright the whole time. Putting the skis on was interesting.
"You put your right foot in, you take your right foot out..."
The trail itself was gorgeous, with hardly anyone else out at 9:30 in the morning. Which worked out fine for me. I didn't have to pull over to let faster skiers (read: everyone e…

Here's something unusual for an urban centre. In the heart of Canada's capital is a huge block of open land (400 hectares) called The Central Experimental Farm. It was established in 1886 (thats a long time for an "experiment") as the central research station for the federal Department of Agriculture. When I first entered the public service in the mid 80s (that's the 1990s) I worked at Agriculture in the Sir John Carling Building located on the farm.
