A view of the wetlands and we're moving soon...

Here are a few pictures of the wetlands that are fairly close to where we are living.  It's nice to walk over there and the wetlands themselves are very interesting.

The white bird with some pink on it is a Roseate Spoonbill.  It moves its spoon shaped bill around in the water like a vacuum cleaner.  The white bird on the left is a Great Egret and the two brownish birds in the center are Wood Storks.  We're not too sure about the bird that is next to the Spoonbill.

The walk to the wetlands is through a forest which is nice and in the wetlands there always seems to be something interesting to see.  The ONLY thing about the wetlands is the road along the edge of it is dirt and inevitably several speedsters will come along on their motor bikes or cars and kick up tons of dust.  There are some people out there who are considerate and they slow down when they pass by us.  But that is rare.......

Well, we've been in this little house now for a month, and in 5 days we move to another place here in Samara and we'll be in that new place for about 10 or 11 days.   The new place we're moving to is one block over from the main street in Samara so we'll be closer to stores and to the beach.  That should be good because it seems to be getting hotter here.  Even our walks to the store in the early morning make us get sweaty.  We just hope we're not going from the frying pan into the fire by taking this new place but we don't have many choices here.

The pros of where we're living now are a few, but the cons are many.  We just hope that the pros of the new place we're going to will be better and more abundant than the cons.

After our 10 or so days in the new place, we will drive back to Liberia and maybe we'll get to see Fernando and Eva for Fernando's birthday.  We shall see.  Then, March 2nd, we fly back to Panama!!
