He does speak good english and was originally native to the area. I believe he said he was with the US military for quite a while too. Anyway, I was recommended to him as someone who knew the area intimately and he showed me alot of properties. I never did get too excited about any of the properties but still found him to be an interesting fellow to talk to. I guess the buyer beware and check everything out before you write any cheques would be the best course of action in any real estate transaction in Panama.

I haven't been in that area for over a year, but I do know that a lot of money has gone to fixing the problem and I would think that things should be better there now. It would be better to see for yourself and talk to people who are living there. I can’t answer your question.

He showed me all the lots that you speak of but I would not bit in ROP land. He knows everybody and is love by most but not all, (he competes with others locals for the gringo buck) Danny likes to work for Gringos as his english is perfect, he went to high school in the states. He will freely tell you that he usally gets paid around $40 per day to translate or run errands for you. This can be a wise investment if you have spent days trying to do the simlpe things, he genraly can get them done quickly. I buy him a $10 phone card when I arrive so we can keep in touch and give him a $20 if he spends more time helping me. Danny loves to talk and is a very nice man. As for the lots he represents stay away from ROP land would be my advice unless you can truly afford to throw the money away.

I can't answer the question about Danny. Maybe the email author can respond. In the rainy season it will rain most days. Usually the morning is nice and the rains come in the afternoon. Some rains are nice and gentle and some rain comes down by the buckets full. Hi Stuart. I can’t answer the question about Danny. Maybe the email author can respond.

Anyone have any information on this?
