| Noah's Park Isla Solarte, Panama |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Isla Solarte is a beautiful island in Bocas del Toro, Panama.� Tourism is the primary industry in Bocas, but it is tourism in its infancy.� Visiting Bocas is like going somewhere that time stood still.� We love it and hope to someday have a home here.� In the meantime, we visit.� Last visit we decided to take school supplies to the Indian school on the island.� The plan escalated to where we were taking a quilt for each child from Wrap them in Love and we finally ended up planning a full morning including party with pinata.� What fun! We arrived 45 minutes ahead of party time, intending to spend some time getting set up.� We were greeted at the dock, even at this early arrival, by a large welcoming committee of kids. |

| My friend Carol prepared art foam borders and lots of cool animal and other shaped cutouts along with sequins, jewels and other decorations.� Each child made a picture frame and then inserted a polaroid picture we took of them in front of their beautiful new quilts. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| After we finished the pictures and frames, we played "Hoky Poky".� Then the kids and their teacher entertained us with songs they have learned in English.� That's Juli leading the group and Breanna is near the right side of the picture. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
