Panama

What a beautiful country!  I got the opportunity to spend a little over a month there.  Most of the time, I was in Soloy, an area of the country located in Panama's Chiriqui province.  In comparison to Panama City, the population of Soloy is heavily indigenous.  Whilst Panama City seemingly has made the leap into the modern age, Soloy still lags behind with its lack of electricity and indoor plumbing.  Still, it has its charm, namely the land and the people. 

Good tidings in 2015

Happy New Year!

Expect good things.

Happy New Year!

I hope 2014 brings many great tidings.

Guess where answered.

It was Nicaragua.  Some of the pictures are of Corn Island, others of Granada.  Nicaragua is really beautiful.  I didn't know that before I went.

Guess where

Happy New Year's Day!

Newtown, CT

I can't imagine the sheer terror that those little kids must have felt during their last few moments on earth.  Poor souls.  I hope that in time, all those affected will be able to get past this nightmare.
