Four more months in Boquete Panama
15 January 2017 | Boquete, Panama
Starting dry season, windy!
Hi All:
Today is January 15th 2017! It has been four months since our last blog entry. We have moved seven times now in as many months house sitting. So far we have paid for one month, a nice exchange for the service work we do. We have now been training a new student therapist at the foundation for the last four months her name is Steffany. She has done a great job and is learning much in a short period of time. We have been treating patients, teaching Steffany, cooking meals and helping where we can at the handicap foundation. We have organized wheel chair access projects and other handicapped access/safety issues in homes of our patients. Leiann has, in addition to the foundation work, been counseling at at rehab center in in Boquete. It has not been all work as we have made border runs up into Costa Rica for our visa extensions and we turn these into mini vacations. We have gone to the beach, nice and sunny in January! We will be staying until the first of May and then head back to the USA and see our grand kids, the birth of our granddaughter, two weddings and see the rest of the family. At that point if all goes well we will be able to leave knowing that therapy will continue at the foundation when we are gone. We plan to stay in the states for four months leaving in late Sept early Oct, before it gets cold and nasty. We have not made any hard set plans for where we will go when we leave the states but have talked about Europe, further south in South America, Eastern Mexico, so many places and so little time! Before we leave Panama we will host Leiann's friend Diane for about a month and a half. So we will trying to slowly ramp down our work at the foundation allowing Steffany to gradually take on full responsibility and have time to take Diane out touring Panama. Check out our photos and stay tuned for more Chrysalis Adventures.
