  • The season of storms and continuous rains has all but passed and virtually endless sunshiney days lie ahead here in Panama.  Besides the challenge of tropical sun and heat, the single largest contrast now is the hours of sunshine--almost 12 daily here already, while back in Cleveland we were enjoying but 8.  That means the day here is 50% longer! And that means that I can spend 50% more energy getting 50% more tired!


    The trickstering aspect of it is that because it seems like summer, it doesn't feel at all like Christmas. So I'm not in the gift-giving mode--which is good since I didn't  pack any with me anyway.  But I am having fun and the sun is kicking my ass on the run...and I think I'll get blasted at a huge extended-family-type Christmas party in the countryside tonight.
