The airport pickup was a little delayed as wheelchairs were in high demand and dad's attendant was trying to push two at a time. A recent cortizone shot to ease his back pain wasn't doing the trick; and the wheelchair allowed a pain free way to get through the long walk from the gate. We finally had a happy reunion outside the terminal and enjoyed the sights on the way through and out of the city (we took the "back way" home and drove along the Panama Canal and got to see 2 large ships) and then to our house. We have been enjoying eating at our outside table for our meals and it has doubled as our game table when it is in the shade. Rummikub (thanks to Randi & Ed for suppling us with this fun game of sets and runs.) battles have been occurring each day. Mom has been deligent about working on her tan. Her and dad are both taking it slow with the sun as it has been in the 90's and the sun has been intense. Morning walks on the beach have been a nice way to get some sun and enjoy the waves, the breeze and sights on the beach. Pool lounging has to be timed so nobody gets a sunburn! Their first Saturday here we took mom and dad to Tichanan, a Thai restaurant we enjoyed with R & E; and the entertainment that night was the Three Tenors. We all had a great meal and the Three Tenors were amazing! Their powerful voices blended so well and were mesmerizing as soloists. Dad asked them to sing a love song (was sung in Spanish) for their upcoming 64th wedding anniversary in June and it was so awesome! They even got to meet the owner Freddy, who gifted us champagne in their honor. We have been to the rooftop to look at the scenery and the stars; as well as looking down from the roof at our house and pool. We've had a bunch of friends visit all of us at the house during this first week; including two humming birds and a starling inside the house, multiple geckos inside and outside the house, two bright green iguanas that like the wall by the pool, yellow bellied small birds in our trees and tiny green birds that nibble on our mangos; with a recent sighting of a pair of tiny blue birds (presumably mother and offspring) that lunched on a mango that had fallen from our tree to our lower deck. NGG has been busy and maybe earning a new title as the Iguana Whisperer (IW). Our beach walks have also kept NGG on her toes (literally so you don't step on something you don't want to) during low tide. In addition to the already shared creatures we've seen washed up on shore, here is another collection of NGG's findings on the sand (10 new findings!). Mom and dad have really enjoyed sitting by the beach and watching the tides coming and going...and just listening to the waves. Sha is making some chili for our Sunday dinner; and when mom and dad get back from the beach we'll soon be vying for the Rummikub title once again. "5 Crowns" (another card game supplied by R & E) will also be on the game table before the day is through, I'm sure. It will be a little cooler here today with a high of only 86 degrees (feels like 90).
Hope all is well with you and yours...until next time! Pura Vida!
