This butterfly was as big around as a dinner plate...absolutely beautiful!


Not a bad way to head out for a day of fishing for the lucky ones this morning!


This is Senoir Blas who reminds me of someone from the old ways of the US. He works very hard and is a man of great character.


This truck just got done dropping off 3000 sq. mtrs. of sand for our build this morning!!


This is a commercial Panamanian fishing boat. There will be two or three guys on here for a full week straight sometimes...crazy..

On the homefront we had a LOT of rain last night, non stop for about 5 hours. The local fauna will be loving it, but the rainy season is a little early. Hopefully it will take a break in a week or two and let us get some work done..hahaha...yea right.

We got our sand this morning delivered to the bottom of the hill, but they cannot get the rock from the river in remedios because the river level is too high now. They say later today...hahaha

I am guessing sometime tommorow if the rain is not bad tonight. We had to have our property re-surveyed because when they built the main road they used the wrong pins to place our property. Worked out good for us though because we gained 2.237 Hectares' which is about 5.3 acres of land! It's in small pieces of course but we will take it.

The hope right now is to move the excavator and bobcat to the property in the next 4-5 days and begin bringing the rock up the mountain to our road so we can get it in place and then start bringing in the cement mixer, cement, rebar, etc for the foundation.

three days work has taken 9 so far. The good part is that once we get the road ready and material delivered I will have a good crew of guys and then we can play catch up a bit.

More later
