In Panama again

It is good to be here again and see our youngest grandson, Raleigh.  Despite the apprehension shown here, with this askance look towards me, he does appear glad to have visitors from the north - and quickly recognized us as special (that is our story and we are sticking to it)

Our hosts have made arrangements for us in a hotel just around the corner from their new apartment.

 and I will have to do a blog on this relationship shown in photo below.  Deuce and Raleigh and who could be called with complete justification, Deuce the wonder dog.  What she puts up with would make Thomas Paine shudder.

see what I mean

and we are providing a very good audience for Raleigh to entertain.  He is proving to be quite the entertainer and we are a willing and encouraging audience.

Referencing the earlier mention of their new apartment, the view out of the main room dinning/ living/ kitchen, (great room?) window - and corresponding breeze is fabulous.  This is what I am looking at as I sit at the dinning room table- it is due south by the way.

 and from the kitchen bar, food prep area and over the living room area , this is the view- which is west for those of you orienting yourselves and is also stunning.  The north view is into the side of the Waldorf hotel and the pool deck.
