On Friday, we meet at Plaza San Francisco in the parking lot located in Alto Boquete at 8:30 A.M., leaving at 8:35, carpooling to the trailhead in the Lucero area to begin our one and half hour walk. This is a beautiful nature walk with a water channel running alongside the path. We will walk to the reservoir Represa La Estrella/El Valle where there are some waterfowl. We will not be in shade so wear sun block, pack the following: plenty of water, cap/hat, bug spray, camera and binocs. Wear hiking shoes or gym shoes with a good outer sole tread. No need to RSVP just show up. Here are a few of my recent photos from the area, we will be walking. Nature never seizes to amaze me, in all the years, I have walked on the many trails in the Boquete area. I find something new each time. I take photos to keep the memory of nature's beauty alive and to share with others. See you on the trail... Any questions email Jere McCormick: jere chica @ gmail.com (no spaces) Photo 1 Great Southern Butterfly, Photo 2 Cluster of Caterpillars, Photo 3 Roaming Horses, Photo 4 Nature Walkers

Community Christmas Party Hosted by Amigos de Boquete Comunidad
By Moderator_02,
Marcelyn and I attended this fabulous Christmas Party at La Posada Restaurant this afternoon. Besides the usual Christmas season festivities, one purpose for this party was to collect Christmas gifts for the local children. There was no entrance fee, but attendees were asked to bring wrapped Christmas gifts for distribution by the local churches. Our estimate is that about 50 people were in attendance, and all enjoyed the fantastic music of a seven member mariachi band. What a great performance on their part; they were very good at getting the attendees involved by singing and dancing with them. La Posada had extra waitstaff to take care of drink and food orders. The party was in a large room at the rear of La Posada -- could not have been a better venue for this kind of gathering.
The party was planned and executed by a recently formed group of expats under the name of Amigos de Boquete Comunidad (ABC). Joe Hart and his wife, Linda, along with numerous volunteers put together this festive gathering. Our hats off to Joe, Linda, and all of their elves.
Here are a few pictures from this event:

ARF Thanksgiving Meal
By Bud,
Marcelyn and I were participants in ARF's Thanksgiving Day event at the Animales Building. There was a LOT of VERY GOOD food, great conversations, visits with friends, etc. We estimate there were about 70 guests and maybe 15 worker-bees taking care of setting up, tending to the guests, etc. The background music was nice, and not so loud as to intrude into the conversations. The pecan pie was simply outstanding. Kudos to that chef! But I also do not want to take away from any of the other food items. I sampled all the food choices, and there was nothing to apologize for on that front.
An unexpected plus for us was that we finally got to meet Beth Abrahams (it is kind of a long story, don't ask).
Beth Abrahams
We also got to catch up with all of the latest travels and happenings of our friends who were at our table. Met a few new people, etc.
There simply was nothing that we could fault (not our goal anyway). This is the way things should be done, and ARF did it with all of their wonderful volunteers. If someone found fault with something yesterday, then I would chalk them off as being a token curmudgeon. Thank you ARF! GREAT JOB!!!!
Thank you to all who helped make yesterday's Thanksgiving Day celebration such a huge success, and special thanks to N&N:
I will close with: we all have a lot to be thankful for.

One Night in India
By JudyS,
I think $55 for one person is a lot of money to spend on a dinner in Boquete. I've never spent that much for an Indian dinner anywhere.
