We let the lovely little girl in the last two photos
keep the birdhouse. It was taken in Panama City, Panama while they were
celebrating Flag Day, a national holiday there. It was a day-long celebration
of marching bands, and many of the locals dressed in costume. We gave the
girl’s parents a copy of your blog write-up, with a few pictures from the
Picasa web site. We knew that would help with communication and they would
understand what we were trying to do.
