Tetris Can Get Frustrating, But Come On

Sometimes I wonder if only the Japanese can come up with something this excruciatingly brilliant.

Halloween at the White House

We ended up getting in costume and going to the White House hotel in Escazu for their Halloween party, in the pouring rain, and none of our friends showed up, so it was just me and Debbie. The quality of the costumes blew me away, especially one guy who worked all day to look just like the Penguin. Debbie found a pair of angel wings in San Jose, while I scoured the closet to produce a poor Gringo Tourist impression:

The other people, for the most part, looked a lot better:

And of course a certain SNL skit showed up for the party (and no, the box wasn’t empty!):

Panama City

A few weeks ago we took a trip to Panama City for a few days, and I got to see the canal locks for the first time, even though it was my third time in Panama, and second time in Panama City. It really is a beautiful place, and it’s definitely growing at a fast pace.

Here are the pics I took of the action over at the Miraflores Locks close to downtown Panama — we were there just in time for some transits:

We also got to see the old part of town, Casco Viejo:

Wow, Finally Back, With Photos

So yeah, it’s been a while since there’s been any posts… but it’s worth the wait, because I brought pictures! First off are a few I took from a boat cruise around Hollywood, Florida back in August.

And here’s a quick one of my no. 1 girl and me during my surprise birthday party:
