Macaw Morning

i woke around 8 this morning and began writing my blog from the day before.  I was sipping my first cup of aromatic Panamanian coffee and contemplating what to write when Bruce said grab your camera and come outside.  And wow!! I was glad I did.  At first, since Bruce and I are not really bird people, we thought this brightly feathered creature was a parrot.  So I said to Bruce go see if Linda and Stan are around to see the parrot.  Stan was the one who identified this beautiful bird as a macaw.  image image image image image imageThe macaw ate seeds from the pods on the tree right in front of my house.  He didn’t appear nervous and allowed me to photograph him for about 15 minutes before he finally flew off.  Another amazing moment in Panama!

We spent a good part of the day poolside.  The ocean was hazy for the first time since we’ve been here, so much so that when we first arrived at the pool you could hardly see further than 100 yards off shore.  What a contrast from the vibrancy of yesterday.image image image Anne was at theimageimagepool along with her beloved little bird!

For dinner we had barbecued chicken, rice and broccoli.image image image imageIt was a delicious meal and Bruce did a great job cooking the chicken.

I took a little stroll through the walkways between the units looking for interesting birds or wildlife to photograph.image imageIt was getting dark and there wasn’t too much to see so I headed back to join the others.  We played two games of set back.  The boys won one of them.

Now ow it’s going on midnight and the power went out.  It’s very strange because all of it is not out but our air conditioning is, so it may be a very hot, stuffy night if it doesn’t come on soon!  That’s life in Panama!

In 2015, I retired and my goal was to do as much traveling as I possibly could. I started the blog for our first month long trip to Panama in October 2015. My sister Linda and her husband Stan joined Bruce and I on our first trip and we decided together on the name the four amigos. Since then, we don’t always travel with them, sometimes just Bruce and I, sometimes other people, whoever wants to join us on our crazy journeys. The name stuck and I grew an affinity to it. So here we are. I invite you to join thefouramigos blog on our next destination.
