Ok, we just got back from Boquete on March 9th. That said, we have already booked our next trip down to our future home.
The next visit will find us spending the majority of our time up in Alto Boquete with just a day or two in Panama City. A visit with Maria at Frite-Arte will be enjoyed and a must.
It will be interesting to be in Panama over the Thanksgiving Holiday. Once, many years ago we spent that holiday in Caracas, Venezuela and learned more about the struggle in the US than any history class could have taught.
With this in mind, we are still amazed at the generosity and kindness that everyone has displayed to two gringos. Think about it, for almost 100 years, the US held a substantial part of Panama, Fourth of July Blvd, was for all intents a Berlin Wall, which separated the Panamanian people from the American people.
What a wonderful experience since 1999 when the canal was officially transferred to Panama. Before that, the canal only gave a stipend to the people of Panama. Finally the income from the Canal is going to country to help raise everyone to a new and higher standard of living..
Thank you to everyone who made this happen, special thanks to President Carter
