Panama has really surprised us. Maybe it’s because we didn’t do our homework and learn more about Panama before we came. Or maybe things are changing rapidly here these days. Probably a bit of both. But, this is one amazing, diverse country, and they’re practically giving it away for folks who want to come and live there. Paul and I are tempted. I should probably give a little bit of backgr...

Paul's from Australia. Casey's from the States. We met in Africa, married in Puerto Rico, and now after three long years in Greensboro studying and working our bums off we're ready for a little adventure. Join us as we explore the Americas, and let's see where we end up . . . We refuse to keep too tight of an agenda, but here’s a rough outline if anyone wants to catch a flight and meet us anywhere. Mid-May to Mid-July—The US of A. Lots of National Parks as we first head up, then over, then down. The rest of July and August—Mexico and this funny little island in the Caribbean that’... full info

I wish I could describe how intricately sewn these ´mulas´ are, but I don´t know much sewing jargon. Anyhow, most of it is done by applique and by cut-outs with fabric sewn behind it. Hope that makes since to you folks who sew.

Thanks for the picture!
I didn't know you cared so much about me. I was going to say if you and Paul moved to Panama I could come visit you because I could find something to eat at the food court AND get a whole body liposuction. But then you had to go and put that picture of the snake on your blog, so now I can't come to visit. I was going to thank you for the pictures and the blog but changed my mind. Thanks for the blog! I can hardly wait to hear how SO.AM. is. Be safe....love Mom

Hello
Hey Case and Paul, I love following your blog. I wish I could be as adventureous as you two. Your photos are great...you are giving me the travel bug!! I can't believe I'm going to miss you by a day in Seattle. Dana and I get in on December 18th. I guess we'll have to come find you in Australia someday :) Big hugs to you both. Love Reba
