We also visited the lovely resort owned by the Frenchman Phillip. He was gracious enough to give us a tour of his lovely resort. Unfortunately his restaurant will not be open again until December

Interesting cemeteries

On the Road to Los Tablas we stopped at another — On the Road to Los Tablas we stopped at another cemetery – they are very colorful and picturesque

Mornings at The Bakery

We didn't have wifi at our place so we have to go to The Bakery for scrumptious croissants, great coffee and some Pedasi local charm — We didn’t have wifi at our place so we have to go to The Bakery for scrumptious croissants, great coffee and some Pedasi local charm

Checking out Pedasi

Checked out Pedasi - it's a really cool place - but I don't want to say too much because if too many people come here it could lose its charm — Checked out Pedasi – it’s a really cool place – but I don’t want to say too much because if too many people come here it could lose its charm

Arrival at the ocean lofts

No wifi on arrival so I was not able to post. Our places are nice but need a little TLC. Fortunately what we don't have in our unit Linda and Stan have in theirs and vice versa. beds are a little hard but we are adjusting- have to remember we are in a 3rd world country and not in a cosmopolitan area. — No wifi on arrival so I was not able to post.

Street act on road to Pedasi

Our ride to Pedasi on October 1st

After a leisurely breakfast at the hotel, we headed over the Bridge of the Americas, accidentally visited Howard Air Force BasE, wer stopped by the police, made them shake their heads at the idiosos Americanos due to taking roads they said not to - and after a long and rainy day finally made it to Pedasi. — After a leisurely breakfast at the hotel, we headed over the Bridge of the Americas, accidentally visited Howard Air Force BasE, wer stopped by the police, made them shake their heads at the idiosos Americanos due to taking roads they said not to – and after a long and rainy day finally made it to Pedasi.

Riding through Panama City

It was quite a ride through the city - we were a little lost but that was all part of the adventure - some of the city reminded me of the Cross Bronx Expressway - huge skyscrapers - it was a fun ride — It was quite a ride through the city – we were a little lost but that was all part of the adventure – some of the city reminded me of the Cross Bronx Expressway – huge skyscrapers – it was a fun ride
