Christmas on the beach

Today was another beautiful day here in Panama, albeit a bit too hot for my taste ... 35c... so the beach seemed in order!

I gave my sister 3 CD's as a present: Il Divo in Barcelona, Michael Buble and Susan Boyle (what can I say we are suckers for a feel-good story! LOL).

After our drive to San Carlos, we stopped at the Playa Coronado again so that my Mom could dip her toes into the Pacific Ocean. The shade was cool, the water was warm and the day was a celebration of her recovery from her fall.

I also took a few other art shots while we were there!

2009 will go up in smoke on New Years

One of the most popular New Year traditions in Panama is to prepare effigies of well-known people, popular television celebrities or political figures like Betty La Fea or Fidel Castro and burn them on New Year's bonfires.

These dummies, known as New Year's muñecos, represent the old year and they are burnt to drive off the evil spirits along with the old year.

The pictures on this page are muñecos we saw today, Christmas Day, on the side of the road near here in San Carlos, Panama.
