Living in a tropical country with coast in two oceans means that you MUST spent at least one weekend of your vacations in a beach, so we did it. Gloriela and myself spent this weekend in an all-inclusive hotel at the coclesian coast (central Panama). May be july isn't the best month for a beach trip in Panama (is the middle of the rainy season), but any way, the idea is to relax and to enjoy. Somehow, Gloriela found an excellent package for two days in one of the local hotels. I must say that this area is crowded in new hotels and projects (villas, apartments, houses, and so on...) including some very luxurious and expensive ones. Is a good income for the province, taking into account that most of the employees came from the locality (at least it says the pamphlet). Because of the late check-in, first we visited Panama´s navel (literally talking): Penonome. In this town is located the geographical center of the country.
In company of Gloriela's parents, we visit some relatives during the morning before heading to the beach. Then, at the hotel and after a long wait for our room, we were enjoying the sun and the breeze at the quiet swimming pool (there was also an activities swimming pool... crowded). We ate a lot... and played ping pong, and tasted some cocktails (really like that one with amaretto and coffee liquour, but I don't remember the name!). I brought my camera and binoculars (of course) and saw many common birds. There is a marshy area in front of the parking lot that looks promising for waders in the right season. Now it has Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks, Southern Lapwing, many egrets and kiskadees, and even a Common Black-Hawk. The gardens were full of birds like grassquits, seedeaters, House Wrens and grackles, while two non-tickable Keel-billed Toucans were adorning the dinning room. The weekend passed too quickly, but at least we got some rest (and a nice tan).
