Peeks into Panama: Public Buses

Thought you would enjoy seeing the lively public buses that travel around Panama.  Most Panamanians use these buses every day to get where they need to go.  You can ride around the city for just 25 cents.  Typically, we do not use the buses because although they are colorful, they tend to be a little rowdy and dangerous as well.

We do enjoy checking out all of the colorful painting each day though. :)

Peeks into Panama: The Heat!

As mentioned (possible several hundred times) Panama is HOT!  The average temperature is between 80 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit.  Currently, we are in the "summer" season in Panama which seems to stay closer to the 100 side of the average.  This past week, Tim put the temperature gage in the car just out of curiosity.  Here is what he found after a couple of hours! 

YIKES!

Glimpses of Gratitude: Selah

To tell the truth, I am not a big "animal" fan.  Never have been.  I am however, a huge fan of giggling children!  So, as crazy as it seems coming from me, I am so grateful for the newest member of our family.  Sweet puppy Selah brings lots of laughter into our home every day.
