Yajaira is one of my favorite people and has been a friend since 2004. I was lucky enough to be envited to Yajaira’s wedding last December and that was very special for me.
Happy Birthday Yajaira! I will be by later in the day with a surprise for you.
If you drop by Óptica Lopez today, tell [...]

I took this photo at Romeros in Dolegita in David. It [...]

I spent about an hour watching just a small portion of the Independence Day parade. It started about 9:00 and will go until 3:00 or later. I think that most of the participants today were local to David. Tomorrow that will be another set from David and other areas of Panama. This is really a [...]

If you need a little break and you are near Parque Cervantes, then why not get your shoes shined. This is one bargain I have a hard time passing up. For a mere half dollar you can get a great shoeshine. I always stop at this stand, which is right by the church across from [...]
