Bloggers Get Together!

Posted on March 8, 2014 by Kris Cunningham

Emma of A Woman, A Plan, a Canal… Living in Panama! had a bit of vacation, and decided to spend it in Boquete where Holly of Let The Adventure Begin lives. Of course we had to take this opportunity to get together, and we had so much fun!

We met for breakfast and then set off to check out Holly’s land and site of their new home which has recently begun construction.

This is the road in, where they have made excellent progress on a retaining wall.
We checked out the site for the casita where they will live while the main house is built. The women do photos and selfies, while the men talk construction.
The foundation for the casita is underway.
Then, we walked farther up the road to the main home site.
The main home site only has materials and a storage building at this point, but much much more will be happening later on.

On the way down, we stopped at El Explorador. This is a unique and fascinating place, and will have a post of its own shortly.

After that it was time for lunch at Big Daddy’s. I was told that margaritas are required because they are the best in town (so of course I had to comply). They were right. The margaritas are excellent!

Next, we stopped at the Boquete Country Club where Emma and her friends had rented a place. They have stables, so Emma grabbed her bag of carrots and we went off to visit the horses.

Holly makes a friend.
Do you want a carrot?
The horse next door is doing his best to get involved in the action.
This, however, represents the life of these horses most of the time. They are alone in very nice stalls but probably without much human contact. Many of them shied away from us when we approached.
The view from the stables is beautiful!
Volcan Baru in the distance.

After the visit to the horses it was time to end our day together. But, plans have already been made to get together in June! It is so fun when you meet someone you have known on line, and then have an even better time in person. I’m sure there will be many more adventures together in the future!

    Love seeing this…I follow Emma’s blog and reached out to her when my daughter was still in Grad School for Education. She seems like a fantastic girl making her way in Panama City finding the good and the bad teaching those kids!

      Glad you made it home OK! You have tomorrow to rest up before you go back to work, right? I’m happy you’re coming next time however you get here! But yes, flying will be much faster and easier, and you won’t even have to stop for new tires.

        yes, thank god i built in a recovery day! i will never take my car on that road again, regardless of my tires… that stretch between santiago and david is so terrible it’s no wonder my alignment is all sorts of destroyed! (Check my latest post for the continuation of my car adventure…!)

    Kris got some great photos when we went up to visit Scott while he was working. We really had a great day with Emma! I’m so glad she decided to come visit Boquete for her vacation
