We went with Kim and Deb on a walk along the causeway. It was long and hot but we had these refreshing coconuts.

Then we saw another sloth.

This one was very slothlike and taking a nap.

Our friends Kim and Deb are visiting Panama. Kim was my boss at Starbucks 25 years ago and we’ve all been friends ever since.

We went up Ancon hill in hopes of seeing sloths and got really lucky. Not only did we see a lot, Kim takes great photos. These are all her pictures.

This is one of the two sloths we saw. The other one was sleeping and looked like a ball of fur.

We saw several toucans.

We even saw some monkeys.

This is a Geoffrey’s Tamarin monkey

There was also an iguana and agouti.

When I was at the pool today I saw these sailboats. There are never anythung but fishing boats out here. We always thought it was because it was too shallow, but now we are not sure.

I also thought when I took the photo you would actually be able to see the boats. They looked bigger in person.

Today was a good day. I’m still working on building back muscle. Ir’s slow but good. We also made zuchini noodles for dinner. Along with veggie meatballs. Did you know we are a multi country spiralizer couple? We have a spiralizer un our Seattle storage locker and one here.

You would think with worldwide spiralizer ownership we wouldmake veggie noodles more often.

I forgot to post this yesterday. This is a photo Jeff took on our forest walk. Ick!!!! Luckily he, was ahead of me and texted me this photo. By the time I saw the photo the spider was long gone

Today we walked in Costa Del Este which is a walk we do a lot. There were a lot of palm trees and birds but no insects.

Today we went to Parque Metropolitino. It’s like a forest preserve close to the city.

We go there a lot but those I was able to do the hike to the top.

There was a lot of uphill but I was able to do it. We sometimes see slotghs here, but I was too busy huffing and puffing to look up in the trees

Today I finally went and got my hair cut and colored. I put it off for a long time. But, luckily, my mom convinced me to go. I’m happy to report it was a normal cut and color unlike some of my past experiences.

As you can see from the “before” picture. I was in desperate need of a new look.

Today we went to the pool which was full of children with floats and water guns. This is the trade off. Our last apartment building had few children at the pool. It did however have prostitutes and people that might have been drug kingpins. This building is full of families and no prodtitutes or shady characters which is worth dodging floats and kids.

The pool was crowded because today is Martyrs day which is a holiday to remember a sad event in Panama’s history. I’m too lazy to explain it so copy/pasting this from wiki.

This is especially interesting with the recent comments by Trump about the canal.

Today also marks our five year anniversary in coming to Panama. Hard to believe what started with a six month trip could turn into five years.

Today I went back to the chemo clinic but this time just for the maitenance drug.

It’s an infusion but only takes 30 minutes. I know all the nurses and the above photo is my view. So it’s really not bad. On the way home I got these juices.

I was a lot less tired than last maitenance drug day. I even made it to the gym. Was it the juice? Maybe.

Turns out I don’t like a beverage I have to chew.

This one a smoothie of avacado, almond milk, banana, blueberries and spinach. It was healthy I’ll give it that.

After chewing my smoothie I saw my doctor and got cleared to get my maitenance drug tomorrow morning which is good.
