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!

My Back Pages - October

Well, folks, I read seven (count 'em) seven books in October. One I didn't finish but even at that I hit the magic number 50 I estimated for myself by the end of the year. The six books I successfully waded through were, firstly, What Happened, Hillary Clinton's book on her bid for the Presidency. I''m a bit of a political junkie so I get off on this stuff but still it kinda struck me as one long whine over losing. Next up was the excellent Canyon of Dreams: The Magic and Music of Laurel Canyon. Laurel Canyon was the fabled area outside of Los Angeles where many musicians and artists lived. Known as a 60s enclave, the book takes a look at just who lived there over the last 80 years. A fascinating read. Next up was Lightfoot, a biography of Canadian folk singer Gordon Lightfoot. He may have been responsible for some iconic folk songs but he was also quite the womanizer and boozer. Enough said. Then I read Dan Brown's new tome Origin, the fifth ...

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows... Imagination Day!  Oh boy! ...
