 Here is what happens when you have lived in Bocas too long. A friend of ours is quite the artist and has vivid imagination and a weird brain.
 He collects all the material here in the marina, anywhere from palm fronds to paint brush bristles. He also uses the new growth as the little shuts come out on the base of the Palms.
 The dragon body is a bean that grows on a tree here, the eyes are what they call hamburger seeds. On the Gulf coast we call the see beans.
This last photo is of a wind vain , you can see it on the table behind the bird. Sorry for the bad photo of the artist holding it in the air. Wait a minute the last one didn't show up.

  Well how Y'all been doing, We are kind of dormant at the moment.We left for 2 weeks to go back to Texas to see our daughter and the grand babies. As you can see by tne photos everybody through us a party when we got back. Well maybe not for us, it could have been for the marina getting excepted to become an IYG marina. Well a good time was had by all.

  I know this will hurt some feelings in the states but we had to find any kind of shade we could find because it was nice and hot. All Y'all living above Interstate 10 are more than likely you are cold.

   Made a short trip to Panama City and did a little site seeing in Old Town. They are rebuilding the run down buildings and the ones that were damaged during the invasion. That's what the people call the troop arrival to put Noriega in prison for all his drug running.
 This is the sky line of P.C. with a little fog in the air, most interesting sky line. Trump has a building that looks like the Titanic in the stand on end and going down position, I can't find any way to get good photo to show Y'all but will keep trying when we go back.
 Well here we are at our favorite eating place and getting ready to leave to go back to Bocas. 
See Y'all Down the Road
