Panama Update #31
August 15, 2008
I met a guy at the Country Inn Hotel (http://www.countryinns.com/panamacanalpan) at 9:30 this morning. He said he was a Reiki Therapist and wants to look at ways to deliver the Biofeedback services to his client. We talked about possible ways we can work together. To start we may arrange a 1 hour presentation to his clients on what Biofeedback is and how it could benefit them. I am not sure if anything will come of it, but it is kind of interesting to listen to what people do in Panama. He is originally from Greece and moved to Panama 17 years ago, and it is now home for him. The Country Inn Hotel is located on the Causeway (the place with the 2 km walking/biking path), fairly close to where we are staying. It is a great location, right on the Pacific Ocean entrance to the canal. All the rooms overlook the ocean and have great views of the ships, the rain forests, and the Bridge of the Americas. It is pricey (starting at $135 a night) but I would definitely recommend it, and so does the guidebook.
At lunch I met a guy who is opening a bed and breakfast with his wife and is thinking of offering Yoga classes there. I think that would be a fun project to be involved with. They have moved to Panama 4 months ago and bought a house and renovated it. They plan to open on September 1. There are 2 bedrooms for guests and he says it has a beautiful location. He said he wants to invite Nikki and I over for dinner sometime. He is originally from South Africa, married a woman from Venezuela, and worked as a chemical engineer for 20 years before recenlty selling his house in South Africa and moving to Panama. He is really excited about having a more relaxed lifestyle, being his own boss, and spending more time with his son.
