Some reflections

Price mart prices are special. So are the prices here in general. Can  you get a beer for .50 cents. I don't think so.

Of course Heineken is a little more....LOL

Healthy choice cereals,really?Can you see the chocolate bars pasted to the box to encourage you to buy this? This was at the super Romero in David

One egg at a time? That's special isn't it?

Crazy Christmas T shirt and hats night tonight.
It's a buffet special tonight. My famous mushroom bread,fresh homemade salsa,garlic and butter shrimp,cocktail meat balls,prosciutto and papaya,sausage,three different international cheeses and specialty crackers.For dessert we have truffles,chocolate biscotti and of course.....you know.

We finally found the international store in Boquete. The Deli Baru our new favourite store.
We actually found red cabbage,Johnson sausages and French roast coffee.
I still couldn't find the pickled herring though.

El Posada(resauante Agentino) is a great place for pizza,oh course but the back lot is a marvel too. They brought in an artist and he fit the scenery to his imagination. These are actually painted rocks and wooden dead fall.

Today,Aprille got her phone activated.Unlocked and ready to go anywhere for (I should have found this site first,for $19.95) and, 500 minutes for $5... and...we found a craft store.

So.. how much for a fresh pine apple and a large papaya...

Did you say $1.80?

We have now been to a few functions and have met some wonderful new people.
We have gone to a Christmas dinner at Bob and Mary's, which was our first time meeting all the new neighbourhood friends and we went to an open house at Micheal and Kathies on Sunday(the 28th)
where we met 4 more new people. Awesome.

We have now tried twice to get to Chiraqui Grande on the Caribbean side. The first time we couldn't find the Caldera rd(it is not signed going to David) and the second time we ran into mountain fog.
But..it is beautiful there. It is much more lush and it seems to be a tropical rain forest. So..they probably get rain every day.
Caution..max. speed going from Caldera to Chiraquicito especially, maybe 20 km hr. The road is treacherous(that's a good word) and it can end without warning and can go from 2 to one  lane.

But it is beautiful too.

We.. will... get to the Caribean.Promise.
