CHRISTMAS WITH MATTHEW

It's all about the Christmas tree!!

SAN BLAS, PANAMA

The local children from Tiadup loved  playing with "the gringo's" bocci balls; the veggie boat visited once a week  as we were anchored off Isla de San Blas. Huts on Miriadiadup or was that Naguargandup.....maybe it was Narrasgandupdummat....

BAHIA de PORTOBELLO, PANAMA

A group of children rehearsing for a Christmas pageant; Capt'n Jacks is a favorite among boaters;  The Black Christ of Portobello. The local saint is worshipped by followers thru-out Latin America. People walk on their knees to pay their respects every Oct. 21
