PANAMONTE

Panamonte is one of the oldest (if not the oldest) restaurant in Boquete. The ambience feels like a plantation in the South. I already blogged about it in December when I went out with some of the gang when I first arrived. This was my second visit this year.

Dating back to 1914, this elegant country hotel in the highlands of Boquete has hosted guests such as Teddy Roosevelt, Charles Lindbergh and Richard Byrd during its long history. Surrounded by beautiful tropical gardens, and with an excellent restaurant and lounge, it makes for a relaxing haven for a few days in this peaceful part of Panama.

This time I went with (R to L) Kathy, Dan, Jerry, Linda, Kathy, Betty and Beth. We had a great dinner.

And I think everyone loved their entrees. Clockwise: tuna, trout, pork tenderloin and pork chop.

We arrived at Las Lajas today. Since Las Lajas Beach Resort was fully booked, Barb and I are spending the first two nights at a small place called Le Villette, which is about a mile down the beach from Las Lajas Beach Resort where Kathy and Dan are. We went over there today and had lunch with them. We will spend the day with them tomorrow on a day pass and then move over there for our last two days.

Kathy and I are going to do some Zentangles with our new little books that Jolene made us. Thanks Sweetie! I LOVE it.

I received a heart-warmer from Sara today. She said that Cordelia still wears this dress I knit for her when she was two years old. It is now a top. Good thing she has skinny arms.

I’m more and more pleased with my calligraphy these days. I did this one yesterday. I noticed this morning that Ash sent me a text with feedback on some work I sent him. I will enjoy my happiness right now for a few more seconds and then see what he has to say.

I just reviewed his “feedback.” I sent him a couple of things that I wrote and I asked him for feedback on them. He said he was going to give me detailed feedback as soon as he was feeling better. I said that’s fine, no rush. What he sent me were videos of him re-writing what I wrote. No audio. I don’t consider this feedback. I’m done.
