I want to apologise to anyone who travelled to David for the cabalgata that did not happen! In announcing the event I checked with several sources and tried--and failed--to avoid the bias of hopeful expectations. Edward Satterblom

The annual cabalgata celebrates the patron saint day of David. It has thousands of brightly ornamented horses and riders, and is the best public event of the year in Chiriqui. The parade starts at the Parque le las Madres, down the street from Super Baru.

The Mid-Afternoon Heat in David, Early March
Lanecito replied to Bud's topic in Water Cooler Topics, Rumor Central, Bochinche
My car's temp gauge tracked at 35 centigrade, which is what the weather services reported. Plenty hot enough! -
Transmission repair?
Lanecito replied to Dottie Atwater's topic in Help Desk / Concierge Services (“I need ...”)
Yes--Transmisiones Panama on the Panamericana just past the stoplight for Calle F Sur (Dairy queen, McDonalds, etc.). Phone 774-1039 or Guillermo's cell at 6747-9457; he speaks English. -

Cabalgata Gran National de David March 19th
Lanecito replied to Pet Moderator's topic in Pets, Livestock, Animals
Does anyone know if the starting point of the cabalgata will remain the same this year (that is, on Calle F Sur--McDonald's street)? The gathering/starting point is a good to take photos. -
This is a Mexican popular art shop which also sells very good Mexican food. The meals are cooked off-site and heated for customers. We had tamales and flautas which were excellent, and enchiladas con mole, which were even better! The owner is Mexican. There is no beer or liquor; I will bring a flask or carry out. Rose had reheated enchiladas the next day and loved them. They serve food daily from 11am to 8pm; Saturday 11 to 4pm, and closed Sundays. The shop itself opens an hour earlier. It is easy to find: coming from Boquete, on the street from the Panamericana going to Hospital Chiriqui, it is a large building on the right, some 3 or 4 stops from the Panamericana.

I went yesterday with my Panamanian family, and we were quite pleased. The food has a light touch and is not as spicy as the Vietnamese food I had in Chicago. Drinks are limited--2 brands of beer, Balboa and Coor Light. Parking is easy in the Romero lot next to McDonald's. They asked if we wanted the Pensionado discount; "Well, sure...." We plan on returning and trying more items on the menu.

Good post! The Cabalgata is the best mass cultural event of the year in Chiriqui. Not to be missed! -
They also have UNSALTED Mixed Nuts! A premium mix which is healthier and not as addicting as salted nuts.
