Yesterday evening, Café Romeros hosted a couple of very talented jazz artists. Tony Murgas was on the Piano and Boris Espinosa was on the saxophone. They form the Jazz Fantasy Duo.

If you want something, you can probably create a rationalization that will remove the blockage preventing you from obtaining it. One of my weaknesses is ice cream. I love Bonlac ice cream and can go through a half gallon in a little over a week.
I try to get enough walking in to prevent it [...]

I have been searching for Dr. Pepper in Panama since I heard that it was in Panama City. I originally heard that El Rey carried it, but I have looked in two El Rey stores in PC and neither had it. Today I received an email with the names of the stores that do carry [...]

When I was in El Rey yesterday, they had a display of designer dresses form a contest that El Rey had held in Panama City (I think). They will probably be on exhibit for several days, but in case you can’t go by El Rey here are the photos I took yesterday. I took a [...]

Now I am sure that everyone must think that with El Rey opening that I would not need to go to Super Baru any more. However that isn’t true. I still think that Super Baru is one of the two best supermarkets in David.

You may think with the opening of El Rey that I would not be going to the other supermarkets any more. El Rey may become my normal stop, but one thing you learn in Panama is that no store carries everything that you want.
For me, there is no soy sauce that tastes as good as [...]

One of the things I really didn’t like about Super Baru was its bread. I thought it was about the worst bread in the world. If I needed bread for the morning, I would just almost do without as opposed to buying the Super Baru bread.
Now El Rey is a different story. They have good [...]

WOW! El Rey opened at 6:00 AM this morning and it is really setting a tough act to follow for all of the other supermarkets in David. In fact, there is nothing that really compares with what I saw this morning. Of course it is new. And with its newness it brings bright colors, wide [...]

I just got back from Super Baru and I have to give them an “A” for effort in wanting to keep the business. The face-lift is almost complete. I think the outside is complete.
Work is being done to the inside as well. Their choice of ceramic tile was good and they have added a wood [...]
