Mercado de Publico

Jack & Jean went to the public market this morning - they have a fish, a meat, and a fruit & vege market all in the same area - everything is fresh, and they cut it up for you right there. They are fileting the fish or cutting toes off chicken feet (so you can cook the chicken feet) or cutting beef right off the bone. Maybe you can see some of those sights from the pics. J & J bought some sierra, the same fish I caught on Saturday - the market people said it was the best in Panama! (Enrique say "Good Fish.") And how about the size of the shrimp!

These were also the best prices that any of our group have found so far. The 12 giant shrimp cost 2 dollars! They catch lobsters each day too, but they said that the restaurantes come at 4:30 in the morning and buy all the lobsters.

I went to PT as usual this morning - all went well. Ivan is still working on my balance and overall strength - I usually feel pretty good when I go in but more wobbly when I leave. That makes sense because my muscles are so far behind that they get exhausted easily then they become less steady. Still my walking and coordination have improved - it's only a small amount of improvement right now, but I believe that progression will continue.

I haven't had improvement in any area in the last 3 or 4 years at home, so this treatment is still the right choice. We will be patient and trusting - God could have had Naaman wash in the Jordan River only one time to heal his leprosy, but God told him 7 times. Do you think the muddy waters of the Jordan actually did something, or was God wanting to see some patience and trust? Patient and trusting we will be!
