Greetings everyone,
     This past weekend, we celebrated Trinity's birthday!  My beautiful wife turned 28, and we had a great time spreading the celebration over a couple of days.  We went on an eco-tour of a community nearby called Dos Mangas (nope, sorry, not "Two Mangoes," which would be really cool.  The town is right next to two rivers.)  While there, we rode 2 horses named Perdido (because he was lost for 3 months in the mountains) and Bernabe (Barnabas).  Both of our horses could have been about 2 feet taller, but they got the job done.

Trinity was flying up the hills on her valiant steed!

The "bosque seco," or the dry forest

The stalk of this plant is the beginning of the famous Panama hat!

Trin and her guide Luciano, in the "bosque de garua," or the drizzle forest (we're working on a better translation)

Me and my baby

We never made it above 3 mph.

 

Overall, we've had a great past couple of days.  Trin has accepted that her age no longer has a perfect cube root of 3, and I've accepted that I'm better suited for a car than a horse as my primary means of transportation.
