In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful - Alice Walker
This Friday July 7th. meeting at 8:30 A.M. at the Plaza San Francisco parking lot leaving at 8:35. When parking your car do so on the side road not in the parking lot. No need to RSVP just show up.
Our walk will be up in the beautiful highlands of Palmira Abajo.
Palmira Abajo has many quiet country roads for enjoying a short walk or a long hike. Some of these dirt roads are steeper than others. The one we will do, as all trails in Boquete are, will be on a slight slant. I always enjoy the highlands of Palmira as it has much flora and fauna (in this case birds) to see no matter what time of the year it is. Pack: rain gear (essential), water, cap/hat, camera, binocs (birding), wear sunscreen, bug spray. Wear hiking shoes or gym shoes with good outer sole treads and bring along your hiking sticks (I have some to loan out). Nature walks are all about finding the unusual. See you on the trail.... Join us for the each Wednesday morning for a two plus walk or the popular EZ Friday Nature Walk also for 2 hours, meeting time 8:30 A.M. Butterfly and Lichen Trail Blazers

Robert Brauns has spent six months in the last year self driving, self guiding himself in South Africa, Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe capturing images he has dreamed about. This exhibit of twenty four images is a small glimpse into his passion to live among the wildlife of Africa.
There will be a continuous slide show of 240 additional photos on a big screen TV at the library.
His photographer friends Bernie Verhoeven and Larry Wilkinson will display eleven prints of various wildlife as well.

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).

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.
