I have become accustomed to the David temperature and all I normally need is a fan. Now if you are out in the sun walking around a lot, it can be a little tough. Regarding the rainy season, it normally rains in the afternoons. I normally experience a a pretty morning with afternoon rain. I have seen it rain all day, but that is rare. In Panama the rain never stops anything. Getting a little damp is good for the sole. However, it is always good to have an umbrella (paragua) handy.

In Oklahoma we call it a cattle chute. (ha, ha!) They bulls sure looked lean, no corn in them. They will likely be low fat rather like the longhorns I used to raise. I would be interested to know how long they let the beef hang before is is cut. We always liked at least a three week hang if there was enough fat covering the carcass. If they are cut up in less than that abount time the flavor and tenderness is compromised. I have had about all the over 100 degree days I can stand. I believe we have had 18 days of well over 100. I feel fried! Glenda Don,

Thank you for mentioning the troubles there - the work you mentioned, which was over 120 truck loads of boulders - have somewhat slowed the rate erosion, but there is still an enormous amount of work to save homes and property. We persevere. Sorry to hear your friend was caught in the speed trap - going east to west, there are no speed reduction signs on the Interamericana to warn you - only the kindness of your fellow travelers. I know, as I was caught a couple of weeks ago. It cost me $60... oh well. Hi Don Ray,
