Rainforest of Panama {and a couple PSA’s}
LESSONS LEARNED First and foremost, bring a hair clip/tie/anything to pull your hair back when you go on a rainforest boat tour. Otherwise, the above could be you and you may just spend the next day untangling your hair. prevention is key. For my last public service announcement of the day, when you’re mac […]
down on the farm in panama
I will spare you the details of the cow roping and branding. you can practically hear these cows whispering … “don’t eat me”. Right? i do. On a happier note, aren’t these animals gorgeous!!?? Hope your monday was superb!
that time we went to a 100 year old ex presidents birthday party…
Sometimes what you think will be a quiet weekend in the country of Panama is anything but. This weekend I watched a branding (sad, near tears experience), attended a sweet 100th birthday party with the president and two ex presidents, went to a few baseball games, and watched children rope cows. eventful. the guest […]
sabrina ward said it right.
{via jessicalorren.com} I want health and healing and holding close. I want similar souls. I want passionate yeses. I want to hear jazz with my eyes closed, and dig my toes into the sand dancing. I want to climb to the summit and yell and sleep under the stars. I want to laugh my head off […]

yesterday i was all smiles even though the water had been shut down for 48 hours. hence the greeeeeasy mop of hair i am sporting in these photos. still, i had to show you. i finally found my skirt I had been searching for. 10 bucks at forever 21. It is now my go […]
Casco Viejo in Panama City, Panama
Last night we had an evening out at Ego in Casco Viejo of Panama City. The view is something to look at. like a little miami I think. the food at Ego was nothing short of incredible. malbec & caesar salad for both, lobster ravioli for moi, and osobucco for JB. It was […]
salt water cures
{just 45 minutes outside of panama city} I know a cure for everything. Salt water. in one way or the other. Sweat, or tears, or the salt sea. -Karen Blixen-
New Years in Las Tablas, Panama
we spent New Years in Las Tablas, Panama. It is a bit like mardi gras in new orleans. except there is one square, 3 floats, and they go round and round for hours while the queens shake their hips and blow kisses. the people take sides- depending one which side of the street you are […]
learning to latina dance
The girls and I threw a hawaiian party last night. By the middle of the night it had turned into a full fledge latina dance party. Perfectly fine by me! the fact that i have no rhythm did not deter all of them from teaching me a thing or two about latina dancing. they […]
a year to remember
what a year! My mother calls this my year of recompense. Life has not always been a cake walk for me. 2008 was spent in and out of hospitals literally fighting for my life. Maybe 2010 has been that kind of year for you. If it has please know that in Gods timing he restores everything […]
my soapbox
{at the market in malaga, spain} I’ve received a few emails lately from readers asking for health tips. And since we’re coming up on 2011, I for one, want to make this the healthiest year yet. Maybe you do too … and maybe this little list will help make that a reality. (and serve […]
Our First (married) Christmas
Christmas Eve in Panama is the big celebration. Everyone stays up until midnight, passes out kisses for everyone when the clock strikes twelve, and then opens their presents. Then you go sleep until your hearts content. {dress was a jackpot find from F21} Why yes, that is a REAL pig. Pretty frightening if […]
Pedasi, Panama
I am sorry for my absence. JB whisked me away to Villa Romano in Pedasi. A Tuscan inspired villa on the pacific coast of Panama. What a breathtaking combination. The owner, an Italian, also cooked us delicious meals. dear italians, i love you. you do everything so lovely. a glass of wine and sunset […]
Playa Venao takes the sting out of 27
Twenty-seven years old does not sound too bad when you’re sitting pretty on Playa Venao. It certainly takes the sting out a bit. So does the margarita with extra salt. (: Playa Venao is a little horseshoe shaped dip in the pacific where surfers flock. a spot where your hair is never blown dry. […]
introducing …
After much encouragement from family and friends I decided to open up a little photograph shop. Let me know what you think and “favorite” me on etsy if you want to make me SMILE. REAAAAALLY big (:
the beaches of los santos, panama
Our driver took us to the “bonita” beaches of Los Santos. It was pretty in its own way but not what we expected. Let’s just say that it was a little dirty. Still we had fun exploring the surroundings and ended up using the public transport back which was quite the experience. {catherine holstein […]
Chitre, Panama
one of my favorite things about traveling in a latin country is my unlikely blue eyed, blonde haired, spanish speaking husband who happens to enjoy eavesdropping on conversations on occasion. When I took this picture the men beside me were saying “oh yes, take that picture. looks pretty, like a beat up museum”. I […]
first glance at panama city, panama
{view from our room} {view from the living room} my sweet panamanean tour guides monica and maritza {little panamanean boy on my way out of town} So far so good. I had no hickups getting here and even scored first class seats! I loooove Panama! The colors, big city feel of panama ciudad, its people- […]
