Panama Update #132
February 12, 2009
On Tuesday night Laurie came to the Yoga class that I give here. It is the first time she has been to a class that I gave and this type of Yoga. I think she liked it but is used to a faster pace in the health-club style Yoga. Yesterday Laurie helped Nikki do some shopping at Albrook Mall. Nikki has a trip to Texas next week and found a nice jacket and pair of shoes, both on sale at a good price. Today Laurie went on a long bike ride on the Causeway in the morning and then we met Nikki for lunch at a Vegetarian restaurant on Via Argentina called La Novena. La Novena means The Ninth and refers to Beethoven's symphony, which is playing all the time in the restaurant. There are some Chinese vegetarian restaurants here, but this is the only one we have found that is not Chinese. I had carrot soup with fresh Blackberry juice and a spinach and potatoe soufle. It came with a side salad. Nikki had a brocolli salad and Laurie had a curry rice dish. In the afternoon Laurie went to the Contemporary Art Museum that is within walking distance from where we live.
Laurie leaves tomorrow. The taxi is scheduled to picke her up at 12:30 PM and she connects in Miami and continues on to Chicago. We saw on the television that it is 41 degrees there, so she is pretty happy with that. It has warmed up a lot since she left almost 3 weeks ago.
