Sometimes I don’t think I have anything to say, and other times I have folders of things backed up waiting for me to get to them!  A few days ago one of my blog readers was in town as part of his trip to explore Panama. We had so much fun! He was curious about the beaches in the area, and you certainly don’t have to twist my arm to go to the beach. It was a lovely late afternoon that got more and more lovely as the sun started to set.

La Barqueta is an interesting beach. It’s really beautiful, and very quiet. There is a lovely resort there, Las Olas, a little local restaurant/snack bar, and some large homes that you can see in the background behind Joel and our friend, but otherwise it is very quiet and remote. Usually you only see a few other people there, and often you have the beach totally to yourself. It’s beautiful, but it can also be treacherous so if you swim there, be very very careful of the strong undertow and frequent rip currents.
