About Activity

I come from Quebec where I immigrated exactly 50 years ago. I taught visual arts for 32 years. In 2006, we bought a house in Panama where we spend 6 months a year in the warmth of Playa El Rompio, town of Los Santos and in the province of the same name. Of course in the beginning you could say that the prices were ridiculously low. Of course also, in our little corner of paradise, a village of fishermen and notables from the neighboring town of Chitr茅 which has more than 100,000 inhabitants where you can find everything that a big city can offer. We live today in a complex (the construction of which I supervised) with other Canadians, the majority from Quebec. This complex is 80 meters from the beach, which has the advantage of being able to eat outside without getting grains of sand blown by the wind. We are surrounded by some inexpensive local restaurants: At Nerris for example you can eat fresh fish of the day with fries and salad for $8. We can bring our wine or beer there. ...

Interests: la mer, les bons amis, la Famille, le soleil

I am Retired.

Distrito Los Santos, Los Santos, Panama

I live there 6 months a year, mid-October to mid-April
The wild beach, tranquility, and cheap living. The friendly town of Chitr茅 15 minutes away and the sun.
