Posted on February 9, 2015 by mcmoller It seems I have gotten into a routine and have designated Mondays as wash day. Mondays can be pretty quiet around the pueblo; most restaurants and some stores are closed; many are recovering from their partying and drinking all weekend. That is not our case although we occasionally READ MORE

Isla Iguana is a small island off the coast of Pedasí that I have written about before. I and many others enjoy visiting there for the day for snorkeling, swimming, exploring, and sunbathing. It is only a 20-30 minute boat-ride from Playa Arenal. A visit to the island is one of the popular attractions for READ MORE

January, 2018 has been very different compared to the previous years in Pedasí; not that it is good or bad, just different. For one thing, the weather. It is supposed to be dry season which means after about the middle of December, no rain until wet season returns in May or June. I think God READ MORE

To get into the Christmas spirit, Mikkel and I, along with our friends LaVon & Bob, traveled by bus to Panama City to attend “Carols by Candlelight” (Luces de Navidad) performance on December 2nd. Mikkel had heard about this program and wanted to go ever since we moved here, but we were unable until this READ MORE

I have written in the past that both November and December are big holiday/fiesta months in Pedasí. This year was no exception. Pedasi loves parades, fiestas, music, and fireworks. The alcalde (mayor) has done a great job promoting and cleaning up Pedasí, trying to promote community, tourism, and a beautiful quality of life. As promised, READ MORE

Well, it’s been another 4 months since my last post. Life in Pedasí is just that-our life now. Yes, there have been some changes, some more adventures, some challenges.

I know it’s been awhile since my last post. We just celebrated our 4th year living full-time in Pedasí and after so long, our life here goes on as just part of our everyday normal life. Yet, I must add that my everyday life here has been very busy and full of challenges and adventures. READ MORE

A couple of weeks ago, I woke up about 2am and heard that it was raining. Odd for this time of year, but a welcome sign that maybe wet season was coming early. We had heard from others that they had experienced some rain in nearby towns such as Las Tablas and Chitré recently, but READ MORE

Wow! I didn’t realize that 2 months have passed since I wrote something on this blog. How time flies. I can’t say I have been too busy, but I can say life here in Pedasí continues to be just life. Sometimes it is hard to know what to write about. I’ve written about Carnival in READ MORE

In my last posting, I shared about our continued saga of car troubles. But in the midst of all the challenges, we were able to stay at a few places overnight that helped us temporarily forget about what we would have to inevitably deal with in the near future. We had never been to Puerto READ MORE
