I went for a short trip and got a good glimpse- good and bad of the city. As an American, some areas were out of my comfort zone and other areas were doable. The traffic was CRAZY!! Not to mention the drivers. So much construction everywhere! To my ...

Why we really left Boquete... by AuntieFlo
It's my turn to write about what happened. It is helping me to deal with the anger and the loss. We had such high hopes when we came to Panama. We wanted to live simpler, lower-cost lives. We also hoped to build something here, something that would ...
