Adventures in Panamaland - A Pictorial Pause (2)



Hola amigos! We're often on the go here in Panama, driving one way or the other on the Pan Americana Highway to small towns to shop, have dinner, do some sightseeing and so on. The other day I even got my hair cut about 15 kilometres down the highway in Coronado - $8.65! When we drive I'm usually in the shotgun seat, so I take lots of pictures...of signs...sometimes with scantily clad women...










OK, that last one wasn't at the edge of the road. But it's one of my favourite spots...the edge of the ocean. My month in Panama's quickly drawing to a close. Be sure to check out my last instalment of my Adventures in Panamaland this Tuesday.

I'm guessing they don't have a lot of billboards with scantily clothed young ladies in Canada...

Enjoy your last few days!

Thanks for taking us all along with you on your fantastic vacation, Dufe. All that sunshine and sandy beach is just what I needed to combat the winter here. Enjoy the rest of your stay. Oh, and take lots more photos.

I like the Jesús es el señor. I think you should put that accent of the U's in Dúfús. After a month in Panama, you should be a little more latino, dontchya think?

Boom Boom: Certainly not as many as they do here. The billboards here are mostly selling a lifestyle and are associated with resorts and hotels. It's quite scenic actually!

Leeuna: Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed my little tour. I know I certainly have. More photos? I've already taken close to 800! The canal, Panama City, the billboards, the beach, the resort, the villages, the people - no shortage of subjects.

So much for the beach bar.

Soak up all the warmth you can with your few days left - February is just around the corner.

00dozo: I'll soon be saying adios to the beach bar. A week in Orlando with temperatures in the low 20s C will help slide me into the minus teens back home...at least I'm thinking so.

Not sure if billboard pictures of scantily clad women count as naughty...

Where are the scantily clad women? Yeesh, you see more of Snooki in the first two minutes of Jersey Shore!

Kidding! Actually, I'm not, but I do see you have a keen eye for the broads, erm, I mean board ladies.

Ahem.

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! ...

I Am Charlie, I'm A Bore

Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Mel Gibson, Tom Cruise, Colin Farrel...you know the list, it goes on and on. The list of Hollywood hick-ups who not content to meltdown behind closed doors have to drag each and every detail out into the light of day and share it with all of us. Well, add Charlie Sheen to that luckless and lascivious list of losers. In the past few days he's been on every major media soapbox complaining abut how he's been treated and how he's misunderstood. Last night he spent an hour on ABC's 20/20 "in his own words". Charlie, you should have stuck to the script. "I have a highly evolved brain". You know I never did like that song by Helen Reddy in the 70s "I Am Woman". But I have to say the melody really leant itself well to a parody of Hollywood's latest flame-out, Charlie Sheen. Although I never thought I'd hear myself say this, my sincerest apologies to Helen Reddy. And now if you're ready (a little play on wor...
