Heeeeeffffa....un, dos, tres, quatro: Drill sergeant of hula

9/30/2012

Interesting week in the rainy season.  As the coffee season picks up, so come the rains and the morning exercise routine has to become a mainly an indoor activity.   It is not that it is always raining in the mornings, usually it is clear, but the air is very humid, the ground slippery and wet and the bugs come out of the coffee in swarms and bite any exposed flesh.  So I head indoors.

This time, there is a new gym in town and it is proving very popular with the local ladies.  I've signed up, together with other moms from the school, ladies who work in the local salons, a few of the local lovelies and a cohort of very energetic 50 something Boquetenas who put the rest of us to shame.  The exercise is good enough, the boredom busting factor exceptional.  Laughing my head off through the early mornings in back row with my new chums.   It is mostly about trying to follow a the male Panamanian latin dancers who come up the mountain from the big town to play drill sergeant for the morning. 

Only in Panama would you have an entire hours worth of class devoted to the butt, bum or I think they say something like pompies? here but the word is nowhere in the dictionary that I can find.  What ever they call it, the ladies of Boquete are working very hard in preparation for the holidays.  The next day we got 30 minutes straight of hula with our arms tied up on poles behind our backs, no cheating.   Essential for all the dancing that will take place over the coming months. No argument joints are important to keep moving ....but 30 minutes straight, well that is extreme.

Mañana we start all over again.   Wondering what is in store for us this week?

Hello Emily:

I stumbled across your website today while looking for photos of coffee farms.

I'm a new author and my first book, MESSAGE FROM PANAMA, will be out on Amazon very shortly. As one means of promoting it, I'm developing a 2-minute book trailer which will be available on YouTube as well as on my blog/website, http://www.dontshootthewriter.com.

Two of your photos captured my interest and I wonder if you'd be willing to let me have limited use of them. Normally, I would say that I would credit you at the end of the trailer -- which I would do -- but I also would be interested in featuring your coffee on my site. Currently, Cafe Suarez is featured with a link to their web page.

If you go to my site and scroll down, you'll see a section called Panama and a link called This Month's Coffee.

My blog hasn't been very active while I've been finishing my book but I plan to concentrate on it now and do a significant amount of promotion to drive people to the site.

By the way, I'm also a Scot -- McIntosh. :)

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Best,
Jane Vasarhelyi
