Other 'babies' in our neighborhood.

The young gentleman on your right is Carlos, he's Victor's son - we introduced you to Victor, last year. When we need a hand with the yard, Victor is the first person we think to call. Really nice person, and very knowledgeable about plants and rocks.



The girl on your left is Macareahna .... don't know if I spelled that right. She's Carlos' cousin and she giggles a lot.

Carlos also has a baby sister - Myrna was born near Christmas, last year, so I think she's about 11 months, now.... IF you ever visit Panama's mountains and see a Ngobe Bugle * woman with the strap of a woven bag over her forehead, you now know one thing she might be carrying in her bag:


* The Ngobe Bugle are one of the seven tribes of indigenous peoples in Panama, and all the ones we've met have been short, but strong. We enjoy having them for neighbors.
