    Buena Ventura

    Yes Twosailors, it is a big place well kept and the food is really great for a few pennies more. I don't know the price of the hotel there but I'm sure it is pricey. We stayed up on the mountain.

    Buena Ventura

    Very nice country club and facilities. Played golf there the second week in June. Jack Nickaulas course. The beaches there are nicer than up toward Las Lajas and Las Olas and the undertow in much less. I visited Playa Blanca and was not impressed. I'll do Bijao next trip. We stayed in Anton Valle up in the mountains. Anton Valle is actually the only city on earth built directly in the caldera of a volcano. Cheers
  3. Really great store. We went just to look around and wound up buying travel stuff; two certified airline cabin bags,Nautica paid $170 (worth $560), a jacket paid $32 (worth $100) and some food. Eggs $1.09, cheeses are cheaper and many varieties. In the chest type freezer they had nice american steaks frozen. They have enough cashiers working that the wait time is nothing compared to other stores. So far for me, this store beats all the prices on name brand goods and groceries. Great location----PriceSmart and City Mall close to each other.
  4. Maybe they can catch the thieves with their hands in the cookie jar. At least that would be a start. And then, hold each province school administrator responsible. The school system here is in sad shape. It's all about politics, money and priorities. The biggest problem with all of Panama is CORRUPTION. At least the prosecutors in Panama City are over loaded with work under this administration "trying" to prosecute and get a handle on corruption.
  5. Rumors is a great comedy. I saw it in the states 18 yrs ago.
  6. This seems like a huge project but it is not. Train routes are easier and quicker to build than super highways. As a matter of fact, they have been building these rail lines in Europe going from country to country for years through mountains and coastal areas. Japan and China do these projects with ease-----they are equipped and have the technology to get the job done. This line will be short compared to most rail lines in country to country travel. It will be under 500 miles to Costa Rica.
  7. Sad to say that corruption has caused most of this assistance. The working people and children of Panama suffer a great deal because of monies being stolen.
  8. Looks like profiling----I M H O. Who knows.....some people might pay this.

    Kenny Serracin Opening Night

    bueno salchicha
  10. VERY NICE STADIUM FOR PANAMA. GREAT BALL GAME. THE STADIUM WAS FULL---APPROX 8,000 IN THE STANDS. THE STADIUM HAS A GREAT BACKUP POWER PLANT. THE LIGHTS NEVER FLICKERED DURING POWER OUTAGE TRANSISTION. THE SOUND SYSTEM HAD TO BE RESET DURING THE CONVOCATION AND BEFORE VARELLA MADE HIS TALK (15 MINUTE OUTAGE OF THE SOUND SYSTEM.) WE WENT BACK THE SUNDAY FOLLOWING THE OPENING NIGHT AND THE STADIUM WAS FULL AGAIN. THE PARKING GARAGE MUST NOT BE COMPLETED YET. IT IS NOT BEING USED AT THIS TIME.
  11. I don't know what time my power went out in Boquete last night or early this morning but it came back on at 5:28am. I was in the new stadium last night. There was never a power outage. The inaugaration and game went well. You should have been there to enjoy the electricity and the game!!!!! We got home around midnight and had power in Boquete. There was a short delay with the sound system when the generators were activated in the new stadium. (Edited this morning when the wife got up with the real information) lololol CHIRIQUI 5 HERRERA 2 The Generators worked well. lololololol

    La Casa Mexicana---David

    Probably the best Mexican food I have eaten in years. Some highlights of the "Restaurant and Gift Shop"; Good parking Safe area Doors locked while inside Very clean Restrooms exceptionally clean Simple menu Great Service Honors Jubilado More than adequate portions More than reasonably priced I got out the door for $16.55 I had the special (one of everything)$8.50 She had the burrito $6.75 (brought half home) Two very good natural lemonadas $3.00 7% Tax Google maps takes you right to the front door.
  13. I will try them on my next pants. I'm short and can not find the correct length pants in David or Boquete.
  14. I would not recommend Domingo. The 4 times I used him nothing got done correctly. I gave him three chances after the first huge mistake. So, i'll take our business elsewhere.
  15. 2006 and 2007 Club Car (DS GAS OR ELECTRIC ONLY) Front Suspension Lower Bushings and Sleeves New. I ordered these for my golf cart and they were the wrong parts. I ordereed new ones and need to sell these. Still in the box. $35 6347 3871 hajenkjr1@gmail.com

    Finca Dracula

    This is a nice little Sunday adventure. Hunderds of varieties of Orchids and Ferns. She wanted to walk the property and we did. It isn't that big of a place and there are rest areas to stop and rest. The air is a little thin up there. I'm guessing close to 7000+ ft elevation----not sure. You will find a small restaurant on the property at the beginning of the tour. We ate at the Fanny's Terrace Bistro on the way up. Really great food there but not a huge selection on the menu. We had the Pasta with chicken and alfredo sauce. Turn right in Volcan towards Cerro Punta and maybe 2 miles on the right to Fanny's.
  17. China understands long term investing in other countries. They can build this line. Panama should approve it fast. Financing the entire project with very small annual payments always works out for China's partners.
  18. I was at the David concert. He puts on a great show. I might be wrong but I think I counted 13 members in his band. Big Band Salsa at its best.
  19. Subsequently, the President and his team made a tour of the new Aqueduct system, Sanitary Network and Wastewater Treatment Plant in Boquete, which will benefit more than 22 thousand residents of this district with a progress in their infrastructures is of 76%?????? I have my doubts on this number.
  20. Very professional company. I have two hearing aids that I purchased from them. Their tests were also approved, at the time I got mine, with the Veterans Administration(I don't know if they continue the service with VA). As a matter of fact the VA made the appointment with them for me. Highly recommend them and some of the Resound Hearing Aids are compatable with some cell phones for adjustments of the hearing aids.
  21. until

    Bought my tickets yesterday at Filipe Motta next door to the Honda dealer in David. Easy purchase. Ready!!!
