There are banana trees in the back yard. When they come ripe, there is an abundance of them all at once. Just slightly smaller than the average grocery store banana but at least as tasty.
New and improved recycling in Boquete since our last stay. They have built these recycling sheds near every school in the area to encourage young people to recycle. It made it a lot easier for us to recycle as there was a school not too far from our apartment.
On the hill descending into Bajo Boquete, there is a new wall with flowers.
Part of the Basura Busters crew getting ready to pick up trash on the streets of Boquete like we do every Sunday morning at 8am. Over 3,000 bags of trash picked up.
These gals, who are employees of Selina hotel, joined our Sunday Basura Busters cleanup.
There is an occasional earthquake in these mountains. Nothing strong enough to cause damage, usually, but enough to remind you that the earth is not entirely solid..
This is a nice stand of eucalyptus trees along the Caldera river. I love the smell of these trees.
Near San Francisco Plaza they have an organic version of a weedwhacker.
A boutique hotel, The Haven, has bought more property and has started with a nature walk there. This is one sight along that trail.
This is another new development since our last stay in Boquete. They had only built the perimeter fence last time we were here. Now it is a great place to walk and enjoy the water, trees, fish, ducks and more.
Actually never saw a horse here at this restaurant, Big Daddy’s, on the main street.
I think this bus takes you to David…and the Universe beyond.
When the protesters blocked the PanAmerican Highway for twenty days our whole area ran out of gas, diesel, propane, chicken and more.
New since our last visit to Boquete. Pretty, but I don’t think it would keep much rain off of you.
Unusual flowers. I don’t know what they are. The bulbs are mostly empty.
Retrogusto Restaurante in Boquete. We sit by an open window with a pleasant breeze looking at an eucalyptus grove along the Caldera river.
It took trying over twenty restaurants in Boquete to find a favorite. This is it. Great food. Lots of vegetarian options. Great environment along a rushing brook.
This is where I went for my birthday meal. Full meal for both of us…$12. Three vegan tacos for $2.75. I love horchata.
This is a product of Global Food Services. They grow all these nutrition dense plants. Dry them. Powder them. It lasts a long time. $20 for a big jar. They give this away to indigenous families to improve their nutrition. They also give everyone in the family a chicken with the one rule that you can’t kill and eat the chicken for at least 2 years. The chickens scavenge for their food and give each person maybe 1,000 eggs in those two years.
