Tag: Tropical Storm warning

Truth be known, the last 3 days of our vacation were packed morning to night with adventure. We took 4 gigs of photos and video which caused me a great deal of grief during the download process. All of this is part of the “learning curve”. I have spent the last couple of days organizing the media and storing it on an auxiliary drive because it overloaded my computer. Our goal has been to deliver only original high quality material here. We made the decision to go silent rather than try to just post something. Enough of all that. Let me tell you about how we spent our Thursday…

…For those who were paying attention to the weather in Panama, or our Facebook posts, Thursday morning we woke up to a Tropical Storm Warning. The beaches and pools were closed. We enjoyed a great breakfast with our travel buddies and decided to take a shopping excursion to Panama City. What a great time we had. Communication outside the resort was problematic, but we managed to find some terrific things to buy. It was my lucky day. I was able to speak enough Spanish to learn about how to choose a Panama Hat. The more consistent the stitch size the higher the price. Being the financially responsible individual that I am, my hat is on the lower end of the price range of $50-$250. I chose the hat that I liked the best, regardless of the consistency of the stitching.

The day ended with another great meal at the resort and cards with our travel buddies. We were hoping for better weather on Friday, which we got. Tropical Storm Nate moved on up the coast of Central America and out into the Gulf of Mexico where it turned into a Hurricane. One of Jen’s friends accused me of being a storm chaser wanna be. With the Tropical Storm behind us, we were able to enjoy the beach and soak up some sun on Friday.  We were all thankful that Panama is never in danger of being hit by a hurricane. We will explore and try to come up with the technical reason for Panama never having been hit by a hurricane in a future post.
