Ten days in and I’m totally loving Panama. We’ve stayed true to our decision to take things slow, and stayed in the capital for over a week. Damn I love that city! We only just tore ourselves away to make our way back to the beach, stopping for a night in the jungle of El Valle along the way.
On Monday we’re heading out on a four day dive trip to Isla de Coiba! While I’ve scheduled a few posts to keep things lively around here while I’m gone, I will have zero internet access during that time — so please forgive me for my delayed responses to emails and comments. If all goes according to plan, you’ll be looking at all kinds of underwater photo-goodness this time next week.

Which photo is your favorite?
Photo D!! Ya’ll are too cute π
Thanks Erica! It is a funny set of photos… π
Hands down…Photo D! You guys look soooooo darling! I hope you have a fantastic time diving and I can’t wait to read all about it in due course! Xxx
Thanks Caity! Just have to get through Ecuador first π
I’m loving all the Panama posts and am so glad you love it there! Can’t wait to see photos from your dive trip.
Just wish me luck that the camera doesn’t fog! Argh!
Have you tried a bag of silica? We’ve started doing that and have had no fogging since.
I couldn’t find one in time for this trip (super remote location, though I’ve used silica moisture munchers in the past and loved them). So I tried something new… a mini tampon. It worked! No fogging!
D! you two are a cute couple. Nice that anders will take photos with you- i have to beg my bf, then he just makes a dumb face!
Ha Rachel, Anders read this comment out loud to me and laughed. I have to delete 90% of photos of him. In fact, in the first of this set where I am posing like a normal person he is pulling a very, very dumb face. But I set the camera to shoot like ten times so then he got bored and whisked me around and we got a cute photo as a result — ha!
sneaky sneaky, I must try this trick!
Immediately block the IP of anyone who doesn’t say D. :b
Wes after the last Facebook photo incident I was terrified to read your comment on this one… glad it’s a positive π
Looking forward to the underwater photographs! Enjoy not having internet, Alex. Freeeeedom;)
I’ll keep telling myself it’s “freeedom” when I start twitching π
The beautiful interior photo – the mix of colours make it a dream π
The Casco is just filled with amazing spots like that. I was sad to leave!
I’d love to be different and not say photo d but can’t! My second favourite is the blue interior design one. We recently painted our dining room that colour and an interesting way to make a couch/seating out of crates.
Ah, I would love to see that dining room! And I love the crates too… I have an uncle who runs a Coca Cola museum so I’m always attracted to the memorabilia π
i was all ready to say “C” for the splashy colors, hip design & fairy lights & then i saw “D.” awww!!!
Ha, glad we won you over, Becky!
You know it has to be D! Beside you two being adorable, it’s actually a pretty awesome photo. Next would be C for me – hidden gems indeed!
This is sad to say but I basically JUST discovered the “night portrait” setting on my dSLR. Combine with the self timer and VIOLA!
Um, D. I know everyone’s already saying it but if they don’t I can only ascertain they have no soul.
This made me laugh out loud, Michelle. Thank you for that! π
It’s going to be D. Two people with eyes for each other with not a care in the world. Sweet.
Thanks Steve! That’s a nice description π
I like both B and D. Picture B shows the past and the present in a very nice shot and I like D as well because of the “ghost like image” and the bright background city lights coming through! Both are excellent pics I think. π
Thanks Mark! The ruins of Panama Viejo were really fascinating because you could see so clearly the old and new juxtaposed. It was a cool spot.
woaa D is so cute π I actually saw C and thought this will be my favorite but then came your couple photo. You’re a great couple!
Thanks Stef! I think next I’ll have to do a post about all our bickering so we don’t make people sick though…. ha. π
I love the way Anders looks at you in photo D…you two are such a cute couple! Enjoy your internet free time and I can’t wait to read about your diving adventures.
Thanks Caty! I will try to remind myself that wifi-free time is blessing and not a punishment π
Another vote for photo D. Too cute! Also, I really like the composition.
You should have seen the furniture pile that I created as a “tripod” in order to get that shot π
D! Adorable.
Thanks Rachael! π
I love the toucan!
We were jumping around like mad when we (and by we I mean Anders) spotted him. What a beautiful bird!
B! It’s old and new and tropical and awesome. Really like D and E too and well really just all of them as usual. π Also, woohoo for a dive trip, it’s about time for some more underwater photo goodness on your blog.
I couldn’t agree more! I’ve been way to long away from the water…
D for me!
Aren’t Panama hats actually made in Equador? π
Well, if you want to get all kinds of technical about it…. π
LOL
Hmmm, I thought you were offline for a few days?
Looking forward to seeing some more of your diving shots so I can live vicariously through you… at least for the time being! π
D! It’s so fun & silly, and I love the skyline in the background. B is a close second, I love the juxtaposition of the ruins and the modern city.
Me too, that’s what made it such an interesting site! Sadly there aren’t much left to the ruins but their location is simply spectacular.
I like em all.
Biased π
I think they are all needed to tell your story. Don’t make us choose! Just change the title… PhotoS of the week π
Keep on enjoying.
Ha, it kind of is that way, right? But I do love hearing everyone’s opinions. The consensus is never what I expected!
