It's my birthday today. Age 63, if you must know. Don't tell anyone.
I'm still in Boquete, Panama and staying at the Villa Marita, a charming place owned by a man named Rodrigo and operated by his charming daughter Ana. Two of my partners, Herb and Wilf are here with me.
Wilf asked Ana yesterday if she would jump out of a giant taco in celebration of my birthday. She giggled at the bizarre image that suggestion must have created in her mind, but declined. Wilf has a great sense of humour but, frankly, I think Ana has more sense. She and her father have been perfect hosts.
I am rested, psyched about all of the great things we have accomplished on this trip, and am sad to be leaving Panama again so soon. By Sunday night I will be back home. I miss my family, but Panama does hold a special place in my heart and it is always diffcult to leave here.
Pictures and details when I get back to Canada and get caught up again.
Happy Birthday, Sieg! Hope you have many more good ones!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I hear our cousins from Germany are planning a trip to North America this fall. Are you excited?
ReplyDeleteTrooper: Thanks! I hear your mom and dad are moving to Amherstburg soon. Perhaps I will see you on one of your visits there.
ReplyDeleteJasmine: Thanks too. Yes I am excited. It will be fun to see them again. I saw them last in 1992, before Zachary was born, so it's about time! Hope you and Todd will be able to make it down at that time.
I hope you can attain your dream of a beautiful new frontier life, Sieg, and enjoy it with loved ones for a good long while to come. Happy birthday with wishes for many more memorable ones to follow.
ReplyDeleteHappy b-day. Enjoy your special day.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Sieg!
ReplyDeleteMay the best be yet to come.
Thanks, friends. I feel young but look like an antique. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteYeah, you bet. I don't know if it will be soon, but when I do get to visit that area, I will definitely let you know. Re-connect the family... I recently saw pictures of you with some of the relatives way back.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY (belated) BIRTHDAY!! (Sixty-Three, eh? Well, you look great! Age is whatev these days, anyway.) ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Penny. I will take my compliments wherever I can get them!
