Panama Ciruela

Two trees at the front of the property have been a vey tasty and interesting treat for us.  

  Green Ciruela taste like green apple, and red, softer Ciruela taste like a mild peach. They are found wild in the mountains and jungle, but are also a yard favorite. I ate these on my mountain hike two days ago. Great trail snack.  

   

One of the things I love about Panama, is you can find fresh, delicious food in abundance every where you go. And all year long there is something ripe. I love this place!

Fiesta Agua Buena

The son of our neighbor is an acordionista that plays around Panama, and in Panama you need not have much of a reason to party.  

 Here I am with Pacifico Dominguez, and I try my hand at the acordion. I can play almost anything, and it was fun to test it out for a bit.  

 Asa loved it too.  

 They seemed surprised I could keep up on the drums. Part of my old life in the band.   

 And this little show was at the entrance to the party. Good old fashioned Panama. I love this place!  Ojer, the guy seated is playing my tambor.
