My O My, US government at its finest

Day 200 Thursday (Jueves) - Playa Coronado

As an American citizen it never ceases to amaze me how our government continues down the path of revoking liberties right before our very eyes, and the issue doesn't even raise an eyebrow to MOST Americans because they never leave the states.

A friend of mine shared the below link with me so it was time to share, if you travel outside the US and have a passport this is very disturbing news that I am about to share. Not the part that the government is trying to get tax cheats, thats good, but it is what they are going to do if they THINK, not prosecute, just THINK you are a tax cheat.

read the article and formulate your own opinion on whether this is a further erosion of freedom and liberty, from where I sit why not just build a huge fence around the North American continent and keep us all inside as slaves. Good grief man.

A not so typical Wednesday.


Day 199 Wednesday (Miercoles) - Playa Coronado

Private piano classes today. I certainly do not play but our friend certainly had a great way to express herself on the keyboard. She was expressing herself playing on a Galaleo digital and it was awesome. She played as we all sat, listened, drank wine, and watched the tide roll in. Our friend Silvard was the host - visit Silvard at www.silvard.com.

After we went to an open house and continued our Wednesday afternoon wine drinking with plenty of snacks. Hey life is tough here in Panama but we are willing to rough it.

It was a Happy Anniversary

Day 198 Tuesday (Martes) - Playa Coronado

So yesterday was our 29th anniversary. Time certainly has flown as we have made this long journey together and it is funny but we both feel more exciting things are ahead of us.

I have spent more than half my life with the Panama Woman and we still get along just fine, O sure we have our moments, but it always works its way out of our systems and we move on together.

We spent our day in Panama City conducting business at 3 banks and an insurance company, then we had lunch with friends at AZURE, a Mediterranean restaurant, IT WAS REAL GOOD. As a matter of fact we used our OFERTA Simple coupons (see other posts about Oferta Simple).  I know, not your typical anniversary, but hey when you are together that long you mix it up - constantly LOL.

Just when you thought the anniversary was over, my lovely wife sent Gerry D an email (Gerry D is a daily English radio broadcast here in Panama) and gave him a message that he read on the air and dedicated a song to us - how sweet, now I know why everyone calls her my better half.

Onward we go.

Interesting statistics

Day 197 Monday (Lunes) - Playa Coronado

We started blogging when we arrived here in Panama to initially keep track of what we were doing here. Then we said, let's put on some information that we have learned from others and make it somewhat informative. To our surprise we have been seeing a nice increase in views to the blog, even when we have nothing to say. It is a great mechanism to get information out to interested folks, plus we can still keep track of our daily life down here. Check out the info below, this blows me away when I see folks reading this stuff from all over the globe. Hopefully I will not feel the pressure from all the eyes upon us (yes there are even  Irish eyes watching also :)))))

Getting shelled by the sea

Day 195 Saturday (Sabado) - Playa Corona

I bet the title got you here to read today's blog! No I am not talking about drinking. I am talking about walking the beach and rocks at low tide to find many living creatures of the sea.

There was a bunch of us that went out with a Marine Biologist yesterday in Playa Corona to explore and learn about sea life. It was a 2 1/2 hour adventure and learning experience.  For those of you that read this blog a lot, we walk the beach everyday and we have a nice collection of shells already, but now we will be overturning rocks and checking out some unique things we never thought possible, or better put, scared to do. LOL.
