Chiriquí Chatter

I am finally getting around to posting the photo above. We had some friends over to watch the SuperBowl game on Sunday night and I have been promising to bake something so long that most had decided I had forgotten how.

I will have to admit, I almost have. The Pecan Prailine Cheesecake above, didn’t come out as pretty as I had wanted, but the flavor was not bad. In Texas, we would have had a huge spread for Super Bowl Sunday, but whether anyone believes it or not, I eat a lot less now.

Instead we had some Pizza from Popeye’s Pizza (I still think this is the best Pizza in Chiriquí), a small bowl of chips during the game and topped it off with cheesecake.

Great game, good friends to enjoy it with and full tummies. It just doesn’t get any better than this.

Hi Don–
I am working with Jim Hatch, Director of the next Chiriqui Players play called “Sylvia”. The play will show in Boquete at the Palo Alto Restaurant March 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13 at 8:00 p.m. each night. I am coordinating buses that will pick up patrons in David, take them to Boquete where they will have a 3 course dinner (at the Palo Alto), see the play and return to David. Ticket prices will be around $50.00 each (includes transportation, dinner & the play). Could you help me get the word out to people in David who may be interested? Thanks, Elaine Mayer 6410-8060

What a great game. After a rocky start and down 0-10, the New Orleans’ Saints came back and won the game.  I have to admit that it looked like it might be a blowout. When the Colts were up early by 10,  I could imagine a 40 – 0 game, but it didn’t happen.

I was happy to see the Saints win. I bet Bourbon street was alive last night.

Lets hope that the CBS channel is working for the game. Goodies are prepared. I am going to get Popeye’s Pizza. It just doesn’t get any better than this.

I was on my morning walk and noticed that the Suzuki dealership has closed. This is one of the obstacles that car buyers have in Panama. You can buy a car and a week later there is no dealer. Last year the Mazda, Jeep and Chrysler dealership closed in David.

When I moved to Panama in 2003, the dealership that serviced Isuzu had closed and I talked to many people who were having problems getting parts for their cars.

Auto Servicios de Chiriquí is still there but it appears that the tie with Suzuki is finished. I assume that Suzuki is still in Panama City. If you learn that the dealership has moved in David, leave a comment.

Looks like the Felipe Motta wine store is getting close to opening. I understand this is a well known store in Panama City. It will be to the left of where Arrocha is going top move in Plaza El Terronal.

More and more of the bigger names are moving to David.
