Even a spoonful of sugar won’t help with the other new law that is being debated in Panama being more tasteful. Where is Mary Poppins when you need her? If the abrupt announcement of the new Tourist Visa wasn’t bad enough, it appears that a vaccine card showing that you have been recently inoculated for [...]

I took a trip up to the Frontera this afternoon; I had some jeans I needed to exchange at Almacen Wong Chang. If you go to the Frontera, this is one of the stores you want to visit. While I was in the Frontera I took a few photos. This is just a small portion [...]

With today being such a beautiful day we took a walk through Villa Marta Jardin in Boquete. MY primary camera has decided to start acting up and I only managed one photo. It was of a fishpond. The photo is interesting because the fishpond has a foot bridge over it and the bridge made a [...]

Someone recently emailed me for some contact information for Dr. Mario José Molina Castilla because they had an interest in the book on David that he had authored. You can see it if you are in David at La Casona de David.
