It calls to me
the sun
a sliver or a sky full
it transforms moods
it inspires new thoughts
it brings restful slumber
it is magic

People make a place. The people that stay and the people that come and go. People leave a mark on the spaces and on each other. Bocas Town, at the tip of Isla Colon, will be viewed by some as rustic and some as touristy, by some as leisure and some as work, by some as destination and some as home. Wherever we lay our heads, whether for one night or many, we take from it what we will. People make the place and make of the place and both experiences deserve appreciation.
Isla Zapatilla are actually two small islands that are part of the Bastimentos National Marine Park and are completely undeveloped. Small in size, they can be explored and circumnavigated in just a half hour. We arrived first and enjoyed the beautiful island to ourselves before the boatloads of tourists arrived.

We are renovating our kitchen. While we were gone on vacation they completed demolition. We came home to exposed walls and these precarious, and inspiring, dangling lights. So we danced.

The American Trade Hotel’s building dates back to 1917 and was the headquarters for the American Trade Developing Company. At the time it was the first skyscraper in Panama. After World War II, the neighborhood started its decline and by the 1970s the building was abandoned and vandalized. Before being bought by a development firm in 2007, it was the headquarters of the Pentágono gang. The abandoned building used to be a crack house called “Castillo de Greyskul”. Some of the old gang members have been rehabilitated and work in the hotel.

This kid won a Team Vibe Scholarship, an Artistry Scholarship from David Moore, scored multiple Vibe Awards for his team routines and placed in the top 20 of Senior soloists out of over 100. But before all of that I enjoyed an uninterrupted 3 hour and 30 minute car ride listening to music and catching up with my son. And between all of that we both enjoyed countless laughs and celebrations with our dance family.
