Hundreds, if not thousands, of people were marching in Panama City today in support of family values, which I suppose means 'just say no to sexual education and gay marriage'.
The beautiful old National Theatre in Panama City is being restored at a cost of $11.8 million. Slated to re-open in December 2018, in time for the 500th Anniversary of Panama in 2019, it's been closed since 2015 for safety reasons.
Report Concludes Panama Requires More Skilled Labour
12 Jul 2017 Catherine Perea 03.38pm
A progress report on the 'Evolution, Situation and Prospects of Employment in Panama' concluded that the Panamanian economy generated 104,156 jobs between August 2014 and March 2017 and will continue to generate jobs, requiring more trained Panamanian human resource personnel.
The Ministry of Labor and Social Development, MITRADEL, said that 39,230 people entered the labor market between March
During the last week, four expat fellows passed on in the community whom I didn't know personally.
Bruce, Scott, Bill, Allan. RIP
A good personal reminder to be making sure I leave things in good order.
I am looking for an inversion table. If anyone in the Boquete or David area has one they would like to sell, please contact me at mic1951co@gmail.com or WhatsApp 6623 4860.
Thanks!
Never have I seen anything like this.
Thankfully, animal activist from all over the USA came in to resuce these beautiful dogs.
Hopefully this will not happen in Boquete.
The concerned animal groups here in Boquete do a great job.

We traveled to Volcan for Mexican food again yesterday and had another real treat. We had seen two or three of the water buffalo in the orange groves on the short cut to Volcan before. But today we watched a heard of about 200 grazing and cleaning the underbrush from the orange trees. Nice drive, nice scenery and good food. Beats sitting around the house comtemplating life.
As I write this, I am shaking my head. Another site hacked, this time one that hold passwords for thousands of people.
What I am commenting on is a service called One Login. It is a password manager service. The idea is to keep all of your passwords in one place and have a program or app on your phone keep track of them so they can all be very long and different. You only need to remember the one password for the service and the rest is done for you.
Well, OneLogin was br
We stopped in this church yesterday on the way to Penonome. Religious or not it is truely amazing. It's the first pueblo the spaniards established according to the locals. In 1520 they landed there. You can't see the Pacific from town but it is very close. Most of the church and most things inside are original. The stone wagon wheels are the best things displayed to me. In three years the church will be 500 years old! There is a huge original bronze statue there also. We got there at noon, walke
As predicted more than a year ago, we are seeing another expanded attack of "Ransomware" (the encryption of your data and holding it for ransom). The news reports are full of this, so I will not go over every detail yet again. The basic questions everyone has are:
1. Does it or will it affect me?
Probably not but lets layout the details. This particular malware/virus attacks older Windows XP, Windows Vista and some unpatched Windows 7 installations. It does not appear to att
Daniel and I are announcing the closure of Art Café. We thank all of our patrons who have supported us over the years, many of whom have become close friends.

So we are busy preparing for our show next Saturday May 6, and I was thinking about the types of music one can find at an assortment of great venues here. So, I just wanted to get some feedback from you all about the types of music you prefer: when dining at a restaurant?
When attending a concert?
When driving down the road or At home relaxing?
When having a drink?
When at a party with friends?
So far I've noticed the music scene here near Boquete seems to be composed of
Hello, Everyone: as you probably know, Papa passed away here in Boquete on March 12th at his home in Valle Escondido. We did receive a Panamanian death certificate, however, US officials are requesting one translated into English. We would appreciate information from the community on how to effect this. Thank you, Nicole & Daniel Angelus

I really enjoy the local artist around Chiriqui. Most of them have never been to an art school. The little Panamanian restaurants have some great work. This one is past Dolega in the direction of David.
The lady of the house had a doctors appointment in David yesterday so after the pain and misery of waiting two hours for the doctor we visited the Fair in David yesterday afternoon. We went around 4pm and it was great. Very few people at that time and we seen some interesting culture and animals. For Panama, this is a good fair.
Chiriqui Baseball team is using the Dolega field. I've been to a couple of the the games. They won last night beating Los Santos 3-1.
Maybe the new stadium in David will be finished for next year. It's looking good too.
