Monday Quiz About Me

Each week Heather hosts a quiz in order to get to know each other better.  She asks four questions then then asks each of us to pose a 5th question for different hopper to answer.  Sounds like fun.

1. If you could be on a reality tv show which one would you want to be a part of?

As a tourism professsor, the Amazing Race or something like that would be a lot of fun to do.  It would be interesting to see if my professional knowledge would help at all during it.

2. You have the power to create one law, what would it be?
In the USA, I would ban all political ads. They are not helpful.  They create a need to raise millions of dollars or worse have politicians feel like they owe some group who ran ads supporting them something.  There is little positive that comes from political ads and way too many potential negatives.  I would ban them.
Plus, if I see one more attack ad, I may just have to attack someone.

3. How's your weather today?

4. Other than the country you currently live in, where would you want to live?

Being a Canadian living in the USA, my obvious answer would be Canada.  That is however, probably cheating the question.  I would love to live on a South Pacific Island for awhile.  Fiji, Samoa, Tonga or Tahiti sound the most interesting but I am not fussy.

Now my question for you...

If I gave you $1,000,000 but you had less that 24 hrs to spend it or lose it: What would you do?

Canadian Quarter Horse Nationals

Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, the Quarter Horse Association of Alberta has much to be proud of! Over 2,800 entries swarmed Westerner Park in Red Deer, Alberta, this week for the Canadian Quarter Horse Nationals & Goldrush Futurities.

This year’s Canadian National Show held a very special futurity class – The non-pro Western Pleasure futurity was dedicated in memory of Shannon Burwash, a very special lady who was an integral part of the fabric of the QHAA for the past 40 years.

Shannon’s favourite class was western pleasure. To honour this amazing horsewoman, the QHAA executive invited all amateurs and youth to ride in the last class of the day on August 23, to celebrate the shared passion and love of the American Quarter Horse. As Shannon was adored by many, the class saw a big turnout with 17 horses entered. Congratulations goes to futurity champions Angela Cawsey and She Loves To Rock, as well as Reserve Champions Jenna Salmon and My Bow Tie Affair. The trophies were emotionally presented by Mr. Wayne Burwash and his granddaughter. All competitors received bling bracelets from Good Ride and a tube of Shannon’s favourite colour of lipstick in tribute.

I had a chance to stop by the show grounds this week and with the help of my trusty comrades, Emma Jekabson and Nancy Pratch, was able to snap a few shots behind-the-scenes.

We love Nationals.

Everything is shinier.

And the horses are turned out to perfection.

Plus, in a day and age where we have become very “discipline specific” in some cases, the Nationals is a chance to admire some of the other great events and equine athletes. It’s also a chance catch up with old friends or folks you may not have seen in a while.

Of course, I mustn’t forget about the stall decorations…! At the Nationals, riders go all out when it comes to decorating their stall space. This year, the kidlets and I even delighted in popcorn and slurpees from Silver Line Farms (thanks Lisa Schiestel!)

If you’re in the Red Deer, Alberta, area this weekend, be sure to check out the happenings at the Nationals at Westerner Park. Entrants have come from the United States, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

The numbers are still tallying but so far, it’s looking to be a record turnout year!

Most recent interview of Sunic

A couple of days ago Kyle Hunt interviewed Tom Sunic: an interview that I’ve just listened. It strongly reminded me my most featured post in this blog today, “The Course of Empire,” a series of paintings that evoke both the fall of Rome and the ongoing fall of the American Empire: both caused by “gluttony” and the “inevitable decay” of the spirit of whites.

Surely there were Semites inside the confines of the Roman Empire. But ultimately the fault lies upon those Western Ring Wraiths, as Tolkien called those empty-eyed men: outer shells of their former selves “who command us to abandon our morals and artistic heritance in pursuit of the gold promised by the Ring.”

Who’s to blame: Sauron or us? Most white nationalists blame Sauron. But a few of them are starting to realize that the fault lies on those men who sold our culture and blood “for thirty pieces of gold to forge our own insignificant rings.” For example, in Hunt’s interview of Sunic this Monday, the Croatian thinker said during the segment dedicated to his parting words:

“Folks let’s stick together: Don’t blame the Other with a capital ‚O‘: blame ourselves for all that we are now enduring and experiencing. Don’t blame those other guys. You know whom I mean. They are not responsible: it’s ourselves. It is our petty petty egoism, it’s our trivial disputes what’s hampering us in promoting our cause.”

Speaking of trivial disputes, just disregard the degenerate music chosen by the interviewer before the Sunic interview. 🙂

4 Replies on “Most recent interview of Sunic

  1. I blame the Jews and their shabbos goys for the decline of western civilization. All three of my siblings are shabbos goys, as has been the Catholic church since the murder of President John Kennedy, due to its modernization efforts during the 60’s, praising of the Jews.

  2. Chechar, thanks for posting this interview. I agree with you that the music is not very good. I had been meaning to change it for a while now, but was finally inspired to do so today. The new intro should be updated at the link you posted above. Regards, Kyle.

Urban Fox Proofing

Urban foxes can often be seen wandering through people’s gardens however for many people the real nuisance and problem begins when a vixen decides to make her den in your garden. Many of our clients have said that initially they found the urban fox a novelty, however they soon go on to discover that a family of fox cubs and two adult foxes can cause a lot of damage to their garden, not to mention the dangers and diseases posed and spread by these animals.

Please click thumbnail to play video to see just how brazen urban foxes can be.

Normally in early spring vixens will start to have their cubs, each vixen can have between three to six cubs each year. The vixen will look for somewhere warm and safe to rear her cubs. The void under garden sheds and timber decks are a favorite location for urban vixens to have their cubs, as they often resemble a ready made natural den.

The fox cubs will start to emerge from the den after four to six weeks. Prior to seeing the cubs a telltale sign that a vixen has made a den in your garden is by finding flowers flattened and items such as, bird wings and rubbish in your garden.

IMG_1956As stated in our urban fox page, urban foxes are on the increase in Dublin city and it’s suburbs. Whilst we can provide you with a service to remove urban foxes we can also ensure that another fox does not make a den in your garden in the future. As soon as you notice a fox residing in your garden we would recommend that you contact Wildlife Management Services who are specialists in dealing with this problem species. Once the foxes have been removed from your garden we would also recommend that you get the areas where foxes have taken up residence fox-proofed. You should never attempt to block off or proof a fox hole or den yourself as this can result in a fox getting trapped inside and starving to death.Without adequately fox-proofing your decking or shed after getting the foxes removed there is a high chance that another urban fox will use this area for building a den in the following spring.

Contact us now for any further information on this service.

I'm really loving the chambray and white combination right now. It's so bright and perfect for the spring season!

 The lattice and lace detail on the sleeves and the waist of this top is stunning. I paired it with my favorite white jeans and my new taupe wedges.

"Reading Fine Print."

The Invention of Wings

From the celebrated author of The Secret Life of Bees, a #1 New York Times bestselling novel about two unforgettable American women.

Writing at the height of her narrative and imaginative gifts, Sue Monk Kidd presents a masterpiece of hope, daring, the quest for freedom, and the desire to have a voice in the world.

Hetty “Handful” Grimke, an urban slave in early nineteenth century Charleston, yearns for life beyond the suffocating walls that enclose her within the wealthy Grimke household. The Grimke’s daughter, Sarah, has known from an early age she is meant to do something large in the world, but she is hemmed in by the limits imposed on women.

Kidd’s sweeping novel is set in motion on Sarah’s eleventh birthday, when she is given ownership of ten year old Handful, who is to be her handmaid. We follow their remarkable journeys over the next thirty five years, as both strive for a life of their own, dramatically shaping each other’s destinies and forming a complex relationship marked by guilt, defiance, estrangement and the uneasy ways of love.

As the stories build to a riveting climax, Handful will endure loss and sorrow, finding courage and a sense of self in the process. Sarah will experience crushed hopes, betrayal, unrequited love, and ostracism before leaving Charleston to find her place alongside her fearless younger sister, Angelina, as one of the early pioneers in the abolition and women’s rights movements.

Inspired by the historical figure of Sarah Grimke, Kidd goes beyond the record to flesh out the rich interior lives of all of her characters, both real and invented, including Handful’s cunning mother, Charlotte, who courts danger in her search for something better.

This exquisitely written novel is a triumph of storytelling that looks with unswerving eyes at a devastating wound in American history, through women whose struggles for liberation, empowerment, and expression will leave no reader unmoved.” (via Amazon)

The creditors with transforming creditors’ right into shares, via a joint-venture holding platform, and Baoding municipal government, via a state-owned holding company will become the new shareholders of new Yingli. The holding company has signed an agreement with Yingli Energy (China) Company Limited to inject the value-added portion into new Yingli through the disposal of the corresponding land use right of Yingli, with an estimated capital size of at least RMB 2 billion. With the court's ruling in effect, new Yingli will begin the process of changing its shareholding and relocating its plants.

"New Yingli will continue to retain and operate the production capacity, supply chain, technology, brand, sales channels and other assets of the original manufacturing entities and fulfill the commitments of the order and warranty to customers.

Ronnybrook Farm Dairy @ Union Square Greenmarket

Ronnybrook milks
I finally tried some of Ronnybrook's products at the Union Square Greenmarket on Wednesday. Delicious!

Much better than their outpost at Chelsea Market - the food there was just ok - Ronnybrook is really primarily the go to place for yummy milk, cheese, butter, yogurt and ice cream of course!

Since flavored milks seem to be all the rage these days, I went for the coffee milk and chocolate milk. Delicious - reminding me of a much better version of yoo-hoo, with a hint of bottled Starbuck Frappuccinos.

Onto the butters - I had to go with garlic butter. Slabbed it on toasted bread and it was instant garlic bread! Definitely A++

Finally, the ice cream - I went with ginger creme brulee. Deliciously milky and rich with a bit of spiciness that cuts into the creaminess. Next time I'm going for the butter pecan. Mmmmm.....

Jill said...

since I grew up near Union Sq I also grew up on Ronnybrook - their milk (even unflavored, seriously, try their 2%) is delicious! And you can bring back their glass bottles for recycling.

ckan81 said...

Also at the farmers' market on 47th and 2nd Ave every Wednesday of the year. Every ice cream I've had I love, but truly love the coconut (and normally I don't go gaga over coconut) and the hazelnut and the chocolate hazelnut and the raspberry. I also love the cinnamon butter. Good on toast and cooking apples in a skillet.

Movie theaters all over the country are closed right now because of the coronavirus. Even if you wanted to go see a movie, you couldn’t (unless you live near a drive-in). But if you could go right now, with the looming threat of coronavirus, would you? Would you potentially die to see a movie on the big screen?

Enter your number to get our free mobile app

Folks in Georgia will be among the first to answer that question, as the state’s governor, Brian Kemp, announced today that movie theaters will be among the businesses permitted to reopen in the state a week from today, on Monday, April 27.

Theaters that reopen, Kemp said, would still be “subject to the specific social distancing and sanitation mandates” — meaning they would have to limit their attendance to ensure customers could be appropriately spaced out in auditoriums. With nearly every movie scheduled for release in April, May, and June postponed, it’s not entirely clear yet what movies these theaters would show.

Nobody misses movie theaters more than me (see below), but I personally would not set foot in a movie theater right now. China was the first country to deal with coronavirus, and the first to get their infections under control; but after briefly reopening their theaters in late March, they almost immediately reversed course and closed them all again. The word as recently as last week was larger theater chains were hoping to be back up and running by the end of the summer; Cinemark told investors it wanted to be open around July 1 with the goal of getting back into the swing of things by the time Mulan and Tenet are ready to premiere (supposedly) later that month.

That seemed optimistic to me at the time — and here is Georgia telling its theaters they can reopen two full months before that. We’ll see whether audiences agree.

The labscript suite is a powerful and extensible framework for experiment compositioncontrolexecution, and analysis. Developed for quantum science and quantum engineering, from laboratory to in-field devices. Applicable to optics, microscopy, materials engineering, biophysics, and any application predicated on the repetition of parameterised, hardware-timed experiments.

  • Flexible and automated oversight of heterogeneous hardware.
  • The most mature and widely used open-source control system in quantum science.
  • Multiple analysis-based feedback modes.
  • Extensible plugin architecture (e.g. machine learning online optimisation).
  • Readily integrates with other software, including image acquisition, analysis, and even other control systems.
  • Compose experiments as human-readable Python code, leveraging modularity, revision control and re-use.
  • Dynamic visualisation of experiment composition and results.
  • Remote operation: different modules can run on physically separate hosts / single modules can be run on multiple hosts (including hardware supervisor, blacs).
  • Auto-generating user-interfaces.
  • High-level scripting: all user-interface interaction can be programatically synthesised.

Originally developed by the Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) research group at Monash University in Australia, it has been deployed in over 30 laboratories worldwide, including those at the Joint Quantum Institute (University of Maryland & NIST), National Research Laboratories, US Army Research Laboratory, UK National Physical Laboratory (NPL), Stanford University, MIT, JILA, University of Colorado Boulder, University of Rochester, University of Illinois, Dartmouth College, Columbia University, Universität Tübingen, Universität Heidelberg, Bates College, ICFO, Universität Basel, Technische Universität Darmstadt, BITS Pilani, Swinburne University, and EPFL Switzerland.

We thank the labscript suite community for support in implementing state-of-the-art control software for our experiments.” [1]

A fanless embedded PC running labscript suite software packages is able to control all of the optical lattice clock operations, from the hardware interface level and experimental timing to the data analysis sequences.” [8]

labscript is amazing! Not only as a project itself but as a good example of software engineering that fosters collaboration.”

labscript is a nice upgrade from the program used so far to control different cold atom experiments. The transition was smooth and we are very happy so far. Thanks to all labscript authors for writing and sharing it!”

There is a certain time when a person is facing a hectic schedule and doesn’t have time to take care of skin, which is very necessary. Skin is the most sensitive part which requires proper attention and care, which is needed regularly. But it is not that simple. There are various ways that a person must seek, for taking care skin which includes multiple spas, following a good healthy routine, eating good food and various ways. If you desire any spa services, then freehold body care spa reviews will help you get the best services and tips, which will be useful in the longer run.

A person cannot stop aging, but yes, one can delay with proper care and with an appropriate lifestyle. Also, with time, and with dirt, unhealthy lifestyle, a person faces many skin problems, which becomes the major problem. It becomes challenging to get rid of such issues, so here are specific tips that are very helpful that are discussed below –

  • Protection from skin rays

It is vital to protect skin from sun rays because such rays are very harmful and will bring wrinkles, acne and bring dullness to the skin. Not only is this there a major risk of getting cancer also. So for this follow certain tips that is as follows –

  1.  opt for sunscreen before going out.
  2.  make use of shades which will protect eyes as well and help to get rid of dark circles
  3.  wear appropriate clothing, and try to cover your skin with suitable clothing that will make your skin shine and glow.

Follow such tips regularly and get protection from the harmful rays of the sun.

  • Avoid smoking

Another essential tip that you must follow that avoid smoking. It has a harmful effect on inner parts and brings dullness to the skin, and it contributes to bringing wrinkles on the face that will make you look older than your age. Such aspects are very harmful. This decreases the blood flow, and that will create dullness in the skin.

Also, it leads to damaging the tissues, and with that, it will darken the lips with affecting eyes as well. One significant adverse effect that it will bring is that there are chances that it will bring skin cancer, so it is beneficial to quit smoking. It is the right fact that it’s not easy so for that consult doctor and gets rid of it.

  • Take care of skin in a gentle way

It is indispensable to use proper and right ways to take care of the skin. There are cases when people are using different ways but not in a correct way. That can bring negative effects; for instance, boys are doing shaving and cleansing, which is good for skin, but that must not be taken daily.

Thus one must take care of the right ways and proper time, which will keep your skin healthy and shiny.

It is essential to take a proper diet and rest because such factors will help you boost energy and will remove stress. In this way, you can maintain not only healthy skin but also good health. Such are essential tips that are helpful for the long run.

Die bessere Hälfte (The Better Half) by Ines von Ketelhodt

$500.00 - Please contact 23 Sandy for current availability.
The book contains portrait photographs of my maternal and paternal ancestors. They were taken from paintings, drawings, etchings and epitaphs or out of family albums. Beginning with the 13th century portrait of Peterico Count Stos the following pages show his descendents together with their wives, leading in direct line to me and my husband Peter Malutzki. The following pages show, beginning with my father, his ancestors with their wives in direct line. The book ends in the 13th century with Knight Vredebern Ketelhot. The individual portraits were divided in the center and set together with their spouse to let the "better halves" form a "new person". If a portrait is missing, the personal information ghosts through in reverse, as the respective names and dates of birth and death are printed in letterpress on the back of the portraits, digitally printed on translucent paper. Forming a further layer, historic dates from the 13th to the 21st century are set in relation to this data.

Artist Bio

Ines von Ketelhodt studied at the University of Art and Design in Offenbach/Germany and works in the fields of photography, artist's books and graphic design. She was a co-founder of "Unica T" (1986-2001). Ines worked together with Peter Malutzki on the 50 volumes book art project Zweite EnzyklopÜdie von Tln (1997-2006).

Blog Tour: Don’t Ask Me Where I’m From by Jennifer De Leon {Q&A}

Don't Ask Me Where I'm From by Jennifer De LeonDon’t Ask Me Where I’m From by Jennifer De Leon

Publisher: Atheneum/Caitlyn Dlouhy Books (Simon & Schuster)

Release Date: August 18, 2020

Pages: 336

Available For Pre-Order: The Book DepositoryBookshop

Cover Artist: Elena Garnu

Summary: First-generation American Latinx Liliana Cruz does what it takes to fit in at her new nearly all-white school. But when family secrets spill out and racism at school ramps up, she must decide what she believes in and take a stand.

Fifteen-year-old Liliana is fine, thank you very much. It’s fine that her best friend, Jade, is all caught up in her new boyfriend lately. It’s fine that her inner-city high school is disorganized and underfunded. It’s fine that her father took off again—okay, maybe that isn’t fine, but what is Liliana supposed to do? She’s fifteen! Being left with her increasingly crazy mom? Fine. Her heathen little brothers? Fine, fine, fine. But it turns out Dad did leave one thing behind besides her crazy family. Before he left, he signed Liliana up for a school desegregation program called METCO. And she’s been accepted.

Being accepted into METCO, however, isn’t the same as being accepted at her new school. In her old school, Liliana—half-Guatemalan and half-Salvadorian—was part of the majority where almost everyone was a person of color. But now at Westburg, where almost everyone is white, the struggles of being a minority are unavoidable. It becomes clear that the only way to survive is to lighten up—whiten up. And if Dad signed her up for this program, he wouldn’t have just wanted Liliana to survive, he would have wanted her to thrive. So what if Liliana is now going by Lili? So what if she’s acting like she thinks she’s better than her old friends? It’s not a big deal. It’s fine.

But then she discovers the gutting truth about her father: He’s not on one of his side trips. And it isn’t that he doesn’t want to come home…he can’t. He’s undocumented and he’s been deported back to Guatemala. Soon, nothing is fine, and Lili has to make a choice: She’s done trying to make her white classmates and teachers feel more comfortable. Done changing who she is, denying her culture and where she came from. They want to know where she’s from, what she’s about? Liliana is ready to tell them.

To celebrate the upcoming August 18th release of Don’t Ask Me Where I’m From, I’ll be sharing a Q&A with Jennifer to chat all about her debut! 📚🎉

1. Hello Jennifer, thank you for joining me on the blog today, ‘Don’t Ask Me Where I’m From’ is weeks away from release! Can you tell us what its all about?

Jennifer: Thank you for having me on the blog! Yes, Don’t Ask Me Where I’m From follows 15- year-old Liliana Cruz, a Latinx teen from Boston, as she transfers to a majority white high school. She’s dealing with so much—best friend troubles, annoying little brothers, her dad traveling (again), and she’s trying to fit in at her new high school in Westburg. As a result, she deals with micro-aggressions and racism and stereotypes—and all the while there’s this cute guy…But yes, the racial tensions in the school come to a boil and Liliana has some difficult choices to make.

2. What inspired your novel and did you find anything about the story, either change or evolve during the writing process?

Jennifer: This is the book I wish I could hand to my younger self. It is the story I wanted—and needed—to hear, but didn’t get a chance to see in literature. Later, when I became a public school teacher I saw that while some progress had been made in the category of Young Adult fiction in terms of diversity, there was still a long way to go. So I became even more inspired to write the book that I could eventually give my students. The story definitely evolved during the writing process! For starters, I had the story originally set in the nineties—but I was told that this is technically “historical fiction” (I know!) and that readers might have an easier time connecting if the story was contemporary. Second, the original draft was told in third-person. But once I started writing in first person, Liliana’s voice took over the mic—I mean, the pen, and she just led me the rest of the way.

3. As an #OwnVoices contemporary what would you say you drew from your own experience that found its way into the novel?

Jennifer: Growing up I often moved between two worlds—physically and metaphorically. I grew up in a suburb of Boston, where most of my friends were white and either middle-class or affluent. My parents were born in Guatemala and worked really hard to get our family to live in a neighborhood with a strong school system. That was their ultimate goal: give my sisters and I a solid education. But every weekend we would drive thirty minutes to Boston and visit with extended family. I loved spending time with my cousins and tías and tíos and grandmother. It felt like a different world. So, in writing Liliana’s character, I tried to draw on my experiences of moving in between worlds because she does this on a daily basis when she takes the METCO bus to Westburg and then back home to Boston.

4. According to the summary we see that Liliana has to navigate a wealthy and white high school which forces her to code switch and create two distinct worlds. What inspired you to incorporate this overarching theme of the book and was it something you felt should be present early on in the writing process?

Jennifer: Absolutely. For me, it was super important to show Liliana navigating two distinct worlds. It was the crux of the story, even in the earlier drafts. Code-switching, from my own experience, can be exhausting. And it can take a mental toll, too. I wanted to show how one character, Liliana, is confronting the need to code-switch for the first time in her life, at least on this level. Up until now she has lived and breathed solely in the bubble of her neighborhood in Jamaica Plain, an area of Boston. But that all changes when she joins the METCO program and begins going to school at a predominantly white school. Although I didn’t have this exact experience of being part of the METCO program, I did feel that I had to constantly code-switch depending on where I was and who was in the room—and this only amplified once I got to college.

4a. Based on the summary, it looks like your debut will discuss various themes from Latin-American identity, race, and immigration to name a few. Which theme or topic did you feel the most inspired to explore and is there a particular message that you wanted to get across to readers?

Jennifer: Such a great question! As I was writing Liliana’s story, I felt inspired to show how Liliana herself is learning so much about her culture and identity and background as she navigates a new world—Westburg. Liliana is not an “expert” on Latinx culture or even Central American culture. She has more questions than answers. I think so many second- generation teens can feel this way. I know I did. On one level, you don’t fit in with the “mainstream culture” but then on another level, you don’t exactly fit in with your parents’ culture either. All the while, people—even well-intentioned ones—ask questions like I’m Wikipedia or something. It took me a long time to learn more about Guatemala, where both my parents are from, and I still have so much to learn. So, yes, I hope this book inspires readers, especially young people, to learn more about their family and their background(s), because we are all from somewhere.

5. What did you enjoy the most writing about Liliana’s character? & Why?

Jennifer: Ooooh, I loved writing Liliana’s voice. She is sassy and smart and has a real funny way of saying things—she doesn’t hold back. And I love that about her.

6. As a Latina reader myself I feel like  ‘Don’t Ask Me Where I’m From’ will make it a point in navigating Latina/Latine identity and I think that’s great. Is that something important you were hoping readers take away from the novel?

Jennifer: Definitely. I hope that this book can shed (more) light on the understanding that the the Latinx community is not a monolithic one. Yes, we share so many commonalities (on levels of language, culture, family traditions, etc.), but just the same, there are as many differences between someone who identifies as Puerto Rican vs. Mexican vs. Guatemalan vs. Venezuelan, and so on and so forth. I also hope that readers—again, especially young people and especially Latinx teens—can close the book and feel proud of where they’re from, that they feel empowered by their history and not burdened by it.

7. Can you share one of your favorite quotes in ‘Don’t Ask Me Where I’m From’?

Jennifer: Sure!

“I’m sick of people asking me where I am from. No—where I am ‘from-from.’ I am sick of people assuming I wasn’t born in this country or that I don’t speak English or that I eat rice and beans every night for dinner.” Two girls laughed. But in an I got you way. I felt lighter and lighter. And I couldn’t stop.

Don’t Ask Me Where I’m From is releasing August 18, 2020! Thank you for joining me on the blog tour today.

Are you looking forward to reading Jennifer De Leon’s debut? 🎊🌸📚✨

  1. Oooh I haven’t heard much about this book but that cover is so so lovely and it seems like such a personal and passionate story. “On one level, you don’t fit in with the “mainstream culture” but then on another level, you don’t exactly fit in with your parents’ culture either.” And boy, I feel this part a LOT. Wonderful interview as always!! ❤

Celebrating Independence Panamanian Style

For Panama, November is the start of the holiday season.  They don’t have Thanksgiving as we do in the States.  But they spend pretty much the whole month celebrating Panama’s becoming a country.

Here’s a super brief, and hopefully accurate, history of the holidays.  For the sake of flow, I’m listing the dates historically.

10 & 28 November:  Back in the 1800s, most if not all of current day Central America belonged to Spain.  Within Panama, there was much unrest and plans were in the works within governing groups in Panama City to declare independence from Spain.  On 10 November there came the First Call for Independence from Spain from the province of Los Santos (they must have been tired of waiting for Panama City.)  This prompted a speeding up of the whole process and on 28 November 1821, Independence from Spain was declared by the colony now known as Panama.

3 & 4 November:  After Independence from Spain, Panama chose to join a southern alliance and so, along with Venezuela, Colombia & Ecuador, became known as Gran Colombia.  It seems that though connected, Panama has always considered herself an independent country.  So, with support from the US, on 3 November 1903, Panama declared itself separated from Colombia.  On the next day the Panamanian flag was flown for the first time and has become known as Flag Day.

5 November:  This day is celebrated as Colón Day memorializing the day that Panamanian officials apparently bribed Colombian forces based in Colón not to fight against the separation.  I don’t know if this was the reason, but the whole process was a rather peaceful movement that resulted in the birth of the nation of Panama.

With so much to commemorate, there are parades and celebrations throughout the country.  We’d heard about the schools and their drum corps that march in the parades.  We’d also been hearing the bands practicing up above our apartment, sometimes till the wee hours of the morning.  So on Monday, 4 November, we went into town around 10 a.m. to see what we could see.  There were tons of people everywhere, mostly around the square in the middle of town.  As it was sunny, we found a spot next to a tree with good viewing and shade.  The parade didn’t begin until about 11 a.m. and went until about 2:30 p.m.  The bands all played the same rhythms and the marching dance groups all did the same steps.  But since we’d never seen any of it and there were lots of cute kids, it was fun.  Even though it was sunny when we arrived, it ended up being overcast and drizzly most of the time.

The parade started with the VIPs, a Rotary Club group (I think) and the Fire Department.

Each of the schools had marching groups, the boys playing the drums and girls playing the xylophones.  Each school had different uniforms, mostly in red, white and/or blue, Panama’s flag colors.

There were also baton groups made up of girls.

There were a few groups who performed.  A couple groups did military style marching, while one group from a gymnastics school did stunts.  There was one group that really didn’t perform, but they had Carnival-type outfits.  By the time the various groups reached where we were standing, it was raining.  But they continued even kneeling on the wet ground.  They were obviously proud of their group and their hard work.

There were many examples of traditional dress.  Traditional Panamanian outfits are quite beautiful with dresses with full skirts and colorful makeup and hair pieces.

At one point we thought that the parade was finished as one of the bands was being followed by a big truck.  As it got close, we realized it was the one and only “float” in the parade.  Not sure what was being depicted, but the kids were cute.

There were many different people in attendance at the parade.  Panamanians, Ngöbe-Buglé Indians (Boquete is located near the Ngöbe-Buglé Comarca, basically an administrative region for indigenous Indian groups) and gringoes.

The end of the parade was followed by all the cars parked further up the street heading out of Boquete.

After the parade was over, we decided to wait for the traffic to die down before grabbing a taxi home.  So we walked to Mike’s Global Grill to grab lunch and wait out the crowds.  By the time that we walked out to get our ride home, it was pouring.  Such is the weather here in Boquete :).

All in all, a great day to watch as Panama celebrated its independence!

¡Viva Panamá!

  1. I finally figured out that I have a wordpress account! Ha! So, hi, I am Guy’s WordFeud friend, msjesse. 🙂
    These photos are great, as all of them have been. I had a few back posts to catch up on, but now I am up to date on everything you have posted! How are the Spanish lessons going for you two?

    • Hi msjesse! The lessons are going well. It’s a little ironic because 2 weeks in a row we’ve missed Tuesday and so only had our classes on Thursday. Yesterday we had our best class ever. Things were really clicking in my head. I guess I needed a bit of a break :). I’m glad that you enjoy the photos. I really enjoy taking them!
