I was poking around in my computer’s folders yesterday and found this picture that I took last March in Panama…oh so many months ago…and now here we are six months later and moving into another season!
I haven’t been out and about with my camera for ages so thought I’d post this one...it brings back sweet memories of the day that it was taken.
After a week of rain on Bocas del Toro we were determined to get out of our apartment and hired a water taxi to take us to the nearby island of Caranero. We were dropped off here at the Pickled Parrot…a thatched roof palapa built on posts in the water. For several hours we sat contentedly sipping icy margarita’s and feasting on fresh seafood. We were sheltered comfortably under the palapa with the warm rain coming down around us when these two fellows drifted by in their boat. It was one of those beautiful afternoons when time seems literally timeless; over and over we watched the nets carefully cast, then drawn back in and cast yet again…a graceful ballet of skill, balance and strength. Eventually the fishermen, still casting, drifted off and we went on our own way, boarding our boat taking us back to Bocas.
I’ll be away for a few days visiting with friends for this last long weekend of summer. Enjoy your own weekend as we head into September dear friends!
