love of local in Utah
Boquete, Panama
Boquete, Panama turned out to be *our* city and I can’t believe we almost didn’t go.
It was an hour and a half away, famous for coffee (we aren’t coffee drinkers) and far from the beach. So it wasn’t HIGH on our list, but on our last day I thought, “Let’s do it.” I had been hearing about it on the news and reading in travel magazines about how it is becoming a popular place where Americans move.
(I just want to tell you that during this picture she was peeing her pants. EVERYWHERE.)
There is a reason why so many Americans are moving here. In fact, there are MANY reasons. And I really want us to go out there for a couple months to try it out soon.
Boquete, Panama is higher up in the mountains and has a volcano too! The humidity is a lot more manageable and the air just feels and smells delicious and sweet. The downtown is bustling, clean, fun and full of things I want to do with the girls. They have wonderful schools (so I hear), lots of things to do with the kids and it just…
It had this FEEL that I can’t explain. This feel of the beautiful locals, Americans having the time of their lives, wonderful restaurants and cafes, beautiful gardens and waterfalls. And being only 1 1/2 away from the beach is not too shabby in exchange for having quite a bit less humidity.
I love it. I love Boquete, Panama.

Beautiful. Those milkshakes look good… I am assuming that’s what those are.
And so do I because that’s where I’ll be visiting you for a couple months next year.
Wow, beautiful! What the heck is that blue bodied bird in the background?
Have so enjoyed reading your blog and following all that you have been doing. Not sure what Tyler is sucking on (a coconut, maybe) Thanks for sharing.
yes – you will have visitors, won’t you? I’ll take one of those shakes, some platanos and what the heck – throw in some lobster as well. And of course at least a day at the beach!
Oh, wow!!!! Boquete looks amazing! I think you’ll need our family to come as well when you head down again. Looks like a dream.
p.s. HILARIOUS that she was peeing her pants in that pic! So. Dang. Funny. (though I’m sure it wasn’t funny in the moment)
Wow. Looks like you had a wonderful trip. Fantastic!
Is your littlest potty-training right now? I’m curious how you did that whole process while flying internationally, etc.
I would like to contact you. We are going to Boquete this May!!
