Zen mode for teacher Papa who has the  seat  all for himself. The plane landed before 7h at Tocumen Airport . The drive to Casco Viejo took about an hour due to traffic. Check-in time was 14h and we arrived early. The solution was to just hang around town and have breakfast. The plane's omelette and pancake didn’t last long.                                        We all agreed that Casco Viejo is a lovely place. Ruins and renovation go hand in hand. A bit expensive for a family of four on a budget (U.S. dollar is the currency used here). Though parents could not help but gave in to the 2 mojitos + 1 free during the happy hour. We skipped buying a new hat for Erin to replace the one of Lola’s now battered and holed. She didn’t want to throw it at first but eventually did so and kept the ribbon for souvenir.  After  3 ci...

Casco Viejo                                            Tocumen airport                            trop tôt pour le check-in Nous sommes arrivés le 13 aout à 6h du matin. Le voyage de  l’aéroport  à  Casco Viejo  était assez long car il y avait beaucoup de trafic. Le  check-in  était à 14h00 et c’était que 9h00 alors on s’est un peu promené. Il y avait un  froyo shop . Froyo est une sorte de yogurt mais un peu glacé qui vient des Etats-Unis, tu peux aussi rajouter des toppings. On a mangé un froyo et on a continué notre promenade on a trouvé plein d’endroit en ruine.                                   ...

 une œuvre d'art de Carybé Le 9 août nous sommes allés en ville. On est allé au centre culturel avec un Uber .  Après on est allé dans une cathédrale et on est allé faire des courses. On a mangé dans un buffet au Mercato Central de Fortaleza . Ici on choisi ce qu'on veut et on le pèse,après on paye. J'ai aussi vu quelqu’un qui te gravait le prénom sur un bout de bois sur un bracelet :)       Le soir  on est allé à Crocobeach ,il y avait des grosse vagues. On a mangé là-bas, moi, j`ai pris des nuggets et une purée de patate. C`était très bon !!!! miam. Pendant qu'on mangeait il y avait un groupe de musiciens, il y avait de l'ambiance et mon père a essayé de danser . Le départ pour Panama était à 1h25 du matin , après j'étais très fatiguée. Karen

Went out before 8h30, when the sun was still mild. We’d like to see the small basin created when there’s low tide, I was hoping to take lots of pictures. Unfortunately, the current was so strong and the basin was nowhere in sight. I could see the gray clouds forming at the horizon. The sun was out and for our last day in Fortaleza we let the waves carried us. Then it rained. Running to cover our belongings, I turned as the rest of the family came out of the water , I thought of our laundry hanging and drying.Perhaps it was the rain ,the expanse of the beach or maybe the memory it brought when I was a child, playing with my siblings and cousins, enjoying the rain. I laid down, sand on my back, letting the rain bathe me . I felt a sudden serenity , why should I worry about my laundry to the point of forgetting the moment. I kissed my husband and danced with my girls, laughing, allowing the rain soaked us. It felt good, being at the moment. COMMENTS ...

Seems like eternity since we left our home to start this family adventure. My youngest daughter, Erin, expressed how she misses her bed and her stuff toys. I miss everything in Grand Lancy but the thought of visiting countries as a family truly excites me. We have reserved our accommodations till the end of the month thru AirBnB and two hotels. Three down and 3 to go. Breakfast in the Pousada Pouso Feliz consisted of bread, tapioca pancake, cheese, ham, cakes, guava juice and coffee. Issues Our main concern is the phone. Before departure, I have cancelled my phone subscription . Carlo read about TextNow and using WhatsApp in a blog here . Perhaps I have got too excited and didn’t read everything well. TextNow didn’t function well in my phone, lost half of my chats/messages in WhatsApp trying to reinstall it so that I can use both application. Thankfully, Carlo’s attempt didn’t work out and he was able to keep all his chats/msg. His phone subscription is until the end o...
