On the lighter side

Day 230 - Saturday (Sabado) - Panama City

A few things cropped up today, first the maid came and took care of our sloppiness, OK we are not that sloppy but it was nice to have someone else come and clean the place for us for a change. A few days ago we talked about the challenge of communicating via the phone to a Spanish lady who was cleaning this apartment before, well we overcame that challenge and she showed up as scheduled on Friday around 10am.

Second on the list was a few hours in the park to take the dog and get out of the apartment while the maid took care of her business, Reese greeted her with some loud barking, as she usually does, but we needed to get out so off to Parque Omar one block up the street. We hung out in this beautiful park in the center of Panama City and watched the walkers and runners, watched the folks exercising at the free outside gym equipment (Yes Free), watched a children's play in the park as one of the schools had a field trip and put on a performance, and finally stopped by the fruits and vegetable guy and bought a Pineapple for a buck.

Next stop bring the dog back to the apartment, maid was complete - 2 hours and the place was sparkling. Off to do some errands, needed a new micro SD chip for my new phone, O yeah, my other phone of only 8 months was swimming one day in the Pacific Ocean (NOT a good idea by the way) so that phone is gone and onto a new phone.

Then the rains came, and came, and came, and came, this was the first time in a very long time that we had a few hours of rain that were relentless, it was fun watching it from the balcony as we sat and played cards and drank wine. Supper you say? Yes we have a knack for cooking for some reason, well I guess we both like to do it so it makes it fun. SO after a few glasses of Vino it was time to make some homemade pizza. Started off with a Shell from Mama Mia (OK their homemade shell but the rest is on us I promise), then poured on some homemade sauce, courtesy of my wife, then chopped garlic, onions, green peppers, and pineapple for our toppings, sprinkled on a 4 cheese mix and away we go.

Topped of with homemade Cappuccino from the maker that my wife received for her birthday.

Pizza and a Litre of Wine and Cappuccino's - $6.00 in total. I love this place
