A New Panama Blog
Aug 1st, 2006 by Don Ray
Today I received a few comments from Jimi Colteryahn. I noticed that there was a website associated with his comments and I always checkout the websites to insure I am not accidentally promoting some site I don’t consider appropriate.
Jimi’s site is an outstanding site and I think it would be worth your while to check it out. His byline is “Living on the Isthmus of Panama”. Here you are going to find some wonderful photos and commentary and Jimi is posting in both English and Spanish (boy am I envious). What more could you ask for? He is providing you a great blog and a Spanish lesson all in one.
Here is one of Jimi’s photos. Click on it to go see a post he has on Homes on the Cocle River.
Jimi just started his blog in May and what you see now will just give you an idea of what must be to come.
Thanks for dropping in Jimi. You have a great blog! I added it to the Chiriquí Chatter Link lists.
Hello!
Thank you Don for your nice post and comments. I am truly humbled.
I did spend all morning reading your posts and browsing fotos. This site has to be the best example of complete coverage of an area, in all of Panama. It is an inspiration to bloggers who are just starting out, such as myself.
I admire and thank you for your hard work and dedication you have put into this informative site and I look forward to reading more!
Again thank you y saludos,
Jimi
(P.S. i love busses too)
Don, Thanks for the info both for Jimi’s site and your usual David area info. Having been to David several times (and coming back in November) I appreciate the local info as it will be a help to us (myself and my wife of 30 years - Kim) when we finally buy a place in the Chriqui highlands. Also, as a Mac user for 20+ years, I really think you should try system 10.4. Yes Macs are more expensive up front, but when you factor in the lack of aggrevation of windoze - it’s much cheaper in the long run. Maybe we can get together for lunch when we are there in November and I can give you a demo of a great operating system.
Later Ron
Jimi. Thanks for the comment. I like your site\’s approach. It is nice and clean and presents the material well. The dual language really adds a lot. My site is a little of the reflection of mind at a particular time. I am not sure the style is definable.
Ron, yes I am also a fan of the Apple. I had an Apple II. I think its serial number was around #4. Visicalc and Apple brought the PC into the real world and then IBM and Bill Gates capitalized on Apples success and went for the jugular.
IBM is not much of a player in the PC market any more and Apple is once again showing the innovation that is its strength. Of course, Apple did borrow the graphical interface and mouse from Xerox who was too stupid to use what they had developed.
Hi Don, I went to see Jimi’s site and left him a comment. I like what he has done and it should be seen by more people. I guess you are both advertising the countryside to those who might want to move. I have been working on my website and my blog and I see you there almost every morning. There are many stories to read on my blog (I assume you know/knew this) but I will be adding more to the website — some of those came out of the two books that were just published. Most of the tales are about my life experiences which most young people don’t know what I am talking about. LOL. For your records, the blog is at http://oldmanlincoln.efx2.com. Take care, Don.
Hi Abe. Yes, I try to check in on you pretty often. I enjoy the photos you put up every day. A good study in nature.
I also love Jimi’s work! The “desfile de las mil polleras” series is one of my favorites
Yes, he does excellent work. Kinda puts this ole country boy’s work to shame.
