  1. That is interesting! Seems like that would be stepping on the local police departments feet! Wonder how they would feel if the Panama Embassy sent Boquete police to talk to the citizens of NY about senior safety. Why is the State Department wasting taxpayers money to fly, accommodations, meals, for these officers all the way from NY? Doesn't the Embassy have a safety officer they could send instead?
  2. It is a bright spot! As with the following places that we have eaten at on a regular basis: Oh Toro Ramen, Unplugged Restaurant Gastrobar, Beef Restaurant, El Fogon, Restaurant Mezcla Gourmet, have been consistently reliable in their food, service and decent pricing.
  3. If you love seafood this is the place for you! No off-street parking. But unless it is the weekend never an issue for us. You can park in the free underground parking lot at El Campeon store right around the corner as an option.

  5. Totally agree with Keith! It is a great restaurant! Free shots of ceviche with every drink purchased. We posted about it here: Posted August 13 Johnf, Have you tried Boca Chica Restaurant in David? They specialize in fish, shrimp, and lobster. Free shot of ceviche with each drink order. Great food and service! https://www.tripadvisor.co.za/ShowUserReviews-g298430-d4916071-r225525954-Restaurante_Boca_chica-David_Chiriqui_Province.html Menu: https://www.tripadvisor.com/LocationPhotoDirectLink-g298430-d4916071-i78084923-Restaurante_Boca_chica-David_Chiriqui_Province.html
  6. Agree. You do not realize the cost of being a tourist here until you have the experience when visiting other countries. Raising airfare and hotel prices only cause's less tourism in the long run.

  9. Oh wow! What next flying pigs? Never a dull moment in Boquete!

  11. A few of us did this short hike today. Never a disappointment. Best way to get to a spectacular waterfall. Nice website: http://www.bajomonocampingsite.com/ ZiCbCWBDTCSwJwedxqBPng.MOV
  12. Tell Oscar. He will get rid of the J. A. We have driven in many countries but so far our experience driving in Panama is the worse. There are too many drivers that are careless and just plain rude. Especially the commercial drivers, taxis, and buses. Need to start throwing their butts in jail for a few weeks and get them off the roads.
  13. Very true and, it has gotten worse! Why the Panama government is not taking any action is amazing. Higher fines, jail time for repeat offenders, mandatory driving safety class when anyone gets a moving violation, suspension of DL, confiscate the vehicle if there was a fatality, vehicle road safety inspections, and most importantly more police enforcement.
  14. Fenosa has a recording that above David north all the way to Volcan power is out. Might be a long one! Imagine if the Federal Mall was up and running how long the power would remain out?
