W3 Day 24

We went on a short hike up Ancon hill. This is the first time I’ve done it since Wasabi so wasn’t sure how it would go.

We saw two sloths right away. This one was hanging out in a small tree. He was pretty small, possibly a baby.

This one was climbing back up to the tree tops so I’m guessing he had just come done for his weekly bathroom break.

We did not see any of these babies with well defined butts.

At the top of the hill we heard toucans but couldn’t see them. They sound like grunting frogs so easy to identify.

Later on the way back down a pair flew overhead and landed in a nearby tree. I couldn’t get a good photo but they looked like this.

This photo is from Google and we were much further away but it really did look exactly like this.

We stopped for a lunch of ham, plantain and chayote salad. I’ve never had chayote before. It was really good.

Jeff enjoyed a coconut water.

We heard some live music.

We saw some musicians warming up.

And then we went home and took a nap. Perfect Saturday.

W3 Day 23

Today was another rainy swim day. It is the rainy season but there was a tropical storm that passed near Panama that made it a bit rainier than normal.

I used our swim snorkeler that I now realize from this photo makes me look super weird. It’s not for snorkeling but to swim without having to worry about breathing so you can concentrate on your stroke and kick. It may also keep others out of the pool due to fear.

When we left the apartment Sven was checking email.

When we got back he was fast asleep.

Looking forward to the weekend!!

W3 Day 22

Today started with a text from my regular oncologist asking how I was feeling. I haven’t been seeing him since I’m seeing a Wasabi doctor. The fact that you can just text your doctors here is so nice.

The day started with rain and clouds. Most shocking was the temperature.

This was the coldest it’s been since we got here.

It’s back in the 80s now so I don’t need to pull out a jacket.

W3 Day 21

I’m once again thankful that my Wasabi schedule is every 28 days vs every 21. I have entire week to feel good before my next one.

Today it was raining when I went out for a walk. One good thing about the rain is I don’t have to worry as much about getting sunburnt.

I still wore a sun shirt. Next time I wear the sparkly one I’m going to stand by this sparkly pole.

I spent a lot of time playing with the macro setting on my phone. People walking by must have thought, “she must not have leaves where she comes from.”

I was able to really look up at this statue without sun in my eyes. They really were realistic with the nostrils.

This telescope sort of looks like ET or Wall-E.

I walked 2.5 miles. I was tired when I got home but felt pretty darn good.

W3 Day 19

I’m back at work for last week, this week, and half of next week. PMI, the company I work for, has been great about my schedule.

Today was bring your support sloth to work day. I’m training two new people at work and Sven asked if he could sit in.

He took a lot of notes.

He wasn’t great at our forecasting system.

He insisted on double checking my forecasts.

yes this meeting could have been an email.

By the end of the day Sven decided he’s not a numbers sloth. He’s thinking of asking Jeff to teach him web design.

W3 Day 18

Today was a nice but hot day. We walked along the Amador Causeway which is like a bridge that connects several small islands.

We walk here all the time but never noticed this area where you can see fish.

When we left home it was cloudy and not too hot, but by the time we got there it was hot and humid.

Good thing we had water and were able to buy more.

We saw several ships heading to and from the Canal. I hope this one had the Starbucks tumblers I forecast on it. From the amout of boats lined up to go in and out of the Canal it’s hard to believe there are still supply chain issues.

Its hard to see in this picture but the dots on the horizon are all ships.

We walked two miles and I felt back to myself including tripping over my own feet and taking a tumble. Jeff caught me mid fall so I’m fine. By the time we got home we could see that is was pouring on the causeway so we got lucky on the weather. I’ll still take hot over pouring rain.
