Panama Update #77
October 31, 2008
As they say, when one door closes another opens. Yesterday I wrote that the apartment deal we were waiting for fell through. Last night I put "Apartment Needed" ads on several of the Yahoo Panama internet sites . Today I got an email from someone who has a newly renovated apartment that is connected to their house. It is in Balboa, which is still walking distance to where Nikki works and is in a nice neighborhood. We went over there this afternoon. Both of us thought it was good enough and probably about the best we are going to find. It is in our price range ($775 per month) for a two bedroom. It has windows but is a little dark because greenery is blocking some the light (or maybe it was a cloudy day). It does not have washing machines and we are not sure about the internet, but there is a laundromat near-by. We would also have to buy our own furniture. They thought it would be ready for move-in by November 15. They seem like they would be good landlords. They are a retired couple from Florida and they seem to be very happy living in Panama.
