Panama Update #150
March 30, 2009
Rich and Mariam returned from their adventure in David, Boquete, and Bocas del Toro. Last night we went out to dinner and tonight they came over for dinner before leaving tomorrow so they told us all about it. They took a 7 hour luxury to David which was really noisy with loud violent movies. Other than that they were glad to see the scenery along the way. They immediatley went to Boquete upon arriving in David. They stayed in El Oasis B and B and highly recommend it. It is on the river across the bridge, about 2 blocks from the central plaza. They stayed in a really nice huge condominium style apartment for $99 per night. It included a nice breakfast and cleaning every day. They also loved the scenery in the cooler and more mountainous area of Panama. They took a 4 hour bus ride from David to Bocas. The bus ride was beautiful, right along the continental divide. They stayed on Isla Colon in a place called La Coralina. It is hotel run by a woman from Maplewood, Minnesota. They highly recommend that place. It is within walking distance of a beautiful beach. It was $90 a night for a double room (double bed and single). The food served in the hotel was excellent. Today they took a taxi to the Gamboa/Pipeline area and really liked the Gamboa Rainforest Discovery Nature Center they had there. They found good hiking trails, saw a lot of birds and wildlife and thought it was a very special place. It was $15 admission and they also have a 30 meter tower with a great above the tree line view. The taxi was $25 and it is hard to find a return taxi, so it is probably best to rent a car.

Last night (Friday) Nikki and I took a taxi out to El Dorado. It was ony about a 15 minute ride with little traffic. It is in a section of Panama City that we haven't been to yet. By the time we got out there it was dark, but we walked around the main area of town. It is a town of strip mall after strip mall, for several blocks. We went there because several people have told us about all the Chinese stores and restaurants that are there. In the Chinese store we came across we stocked up on rice noodles and spices, things that are hard to find in other places. We bought some nice Curry spice and other spices that Nikki can use to make Chai tea. We saw several Chinese restaurants and found one that was all vegetarian. They serve the food in a cafeteria style. They had about 25 various items to choose from including noodle dishes, a variety of vegetables, sushi, dumplings, and much more. You point to what you want and they only charge $.25- $.50 an item. Including the soybean drink, the total for both of us was under $4, and was plenty of food.

Today both Nikki and I came to Barro Colorado Island (BCI). It was Nikki's first time here. She came to look at it for possible future research. It is an Island in the middle of the Canal on Gatun Lake that many of the scientists come to stay at for a while. They have a nice dorm and kitchen facilities. It takes a 40 minute drive to Gamboa and a 40 minute ferry ride to get here. I came for the health fair to give mini-Biofeedback sessions to the staff using the Heartmath program. I also participated in a health fair like this that they had here last July, shortly after I arrived. They also had people checking blood pressure, body fat %, and a few other things such as health insurance information. About 20-25 people stopped by to try it. Nikki picked today to come along since she got a ride with the people who were taking me. She walked around the island exploring then came back to have lunch together. They had great vegetarian options such as the usual steamed vegetables, rice, and frijoles. It makes for a long day, but it is a pleasant way to spend a day. We get a ride at 6:30 AM and return by about 5:30 PM. There is another Health Fair I am scheduled at next Tuesday in Panama City.

Yesterday we showed Rich, Mariam, and their 5 year old daughter Juna around Panama City. We got ripped off by one taxi driver, but other than that I think they had a good time. They bought some of the indigenous Kuna art in Casco Viejo such as a painted feather and a couple of Mullas (hand-stitched colorful art). I bought an old Panama license plate for a souvenir to take home. They stayed at our house last night and then this morning planned to take a 9 hour bus ride to the David area. They then plan to go on to Bocas del Toro and return to Panama City in a week.
I heard from Michael G. that he arrived back in Minneapolis as scheduled. They carried two duffle bags or ours home. We are trying to send our things back with the visitors so it will be less to mail when we leave in a couple of months.
I still plan to post pictures of the most recent visitors, but the internet has been down again in our apartment. It has been going on and off quite often over the last couple of months.

Rich, Mariam, and Juna arrived at about midnight last night. They are staying at a hostal that is fairly close to us. Their flight was late, their taxi was not there to meet them that the hostal had ordered, and the hostal said they were booked and did not have room for them. Fortunately they found a room for them. I met them this morning at around 8:00 AM and we had breakfast and discussed their plans for the day. They went out to the Mires Flores locks and then went out to the Causeway for dinner. I am scheduled to meet up again with them tomorrow (Sunday) AM.
Michael, Mary, and Ian arrived back from their week in El Valle de Anton. They had rented a car for the week and really enjoyed the convenience of it. They loved the El Valle area and had a great time. They found a nice place to stay that they recommend. It is called Los Capitanes (www.los-capitanes.com). Before they returned the rental car they drove up to the top of Ancon Hill and also to the Mires Flores locks. Tonight we had dinner at a fancy French restauant (Restaurante Las Bovedas) in Casco Viejo that is near the French Plaza.
I plan to post a few pictues in the next couple of days.

Monday and Tuesday I was in bed with a fever and flu-like symptoms. I emailed my principal on Monday AM that I would not be in and she told me it was going around the school and that it would last 48 hours. It helped ease our minds to know that I did not have something unknown. It turned out she was exactly right and by Wednesday I was fine. Yesterday and today I have been in touch with people from my old job and we are trying to figure out things for next year. It still looks like we will be back in Minneapolis, living at our old house. I know things can change from day to day but it is funny how things work out sometimes.
Michael, Mary, and Ian are scheduled to return Friday or Saturday from their side-trip to El Valle de Anton and the beach area. They will have one or two more days in Panama City to see some sights. Rich, Mariam, and Juna arrive Friday night and I plan to meet them at the Hostal where they are staying on Saturday at 8:00 AM. So we are moving into a busy period here for the next couple of weeks.

I am writing this (10:00 PM) as I wait for Michael G. and his family to arrive. We expect them by 11:00 PM or hopefully sooner. I have scheduled a taxi to take them to the Mires Flores Locks Observation deck tomorrow at 9:00 AM. After that they want to rent a car and go to El Valle, but it is not clear if they will go there on Monday or Tuesday. When I talked to him he said he has no reservations so they can keep it flexible.
The big news today is that the woman who is renting our house in Minneapolis emailed and she has decided not to renew the lease for another year. She will be vacating the house on June 30. Since I have renewed my job in Minneapolis and it looks like we will be living there for next school year, we will probably move back into the house rather than looking for someone else to rent it. If we know someone who wants to rent it we would possibly do it, and then we would rent an apartment for less money than the mortgage. We are happy about moving back there, but we think it will be very strange at first getting used to living in Minneapolis again after being gone for the year. We really had the mindset that we would not be back, so we are adjusting again. Most of all we are just taking it day to day as best we can. Since we brought most of our furniture up to the cabin before we left last summer, we will probably just buy cheaper, more portable furniture to use in the house this time around. That way if we move again in a year we can have

This is the first update in a few days. The wireless internet in our apartment has been down for most of the week but somehow is working today. Michael G. and his wife and son are expected to arrive tomorrow night (Sunday). They are planning to visit the Locks on Monday and then rent a car and go to El Valle for 3 or 4 days. It is more mountainous and cooler there, and it is also near the beaches. Nikki and I might drive with them on Tuesday and then take a bus back. It would be a good chance for us to see the place for the first time also.
Earlier in the week, on Monday, Aaron and his daughter Mila left for Vancouver to join his wife for 4 months. We said good-bye to him at lunch at La Novena vegetarian restaurant. It was a small group, mostly people like Felix and others who work directly with him. We thanked him for all the help he gave us in our adjustment to Panama. By the time he returns, we are scheduled to be gone. My return reservation is for June 2 and Nikki is scheduled to go to a conference in Denver before joining me back in Minneapolis. At this point it looks like I will be returning to my job with the school district. We haven't heard from our renter yet if she wants to renew. If she does, we will probably try to rent a small apartment.
The rest of the week was busy for me with working on our income tax stuff and doing some private English tutoring with a new client. It is a bit complicated as far as taxes and living in Panama, so we are waiting to hear back from our accountant as to what our best option is. Last night we saw two one act plays by Woody Allen at the only English speaking theatre here. We can walk to Ancon Theatre from our house. Both of us were surprised and impressed by the quality of the shows. It was much better than what we saw there last fall. Tonight we are planning to go to the Albrook Mall to see the new release The Watchmen.

We arrived back in Panama at about 11:00 AM today. For both of us it was the first time in Costa Rica and we liked it a lot. It was dry season there like in Panama, but there are many different micro climates so we did run into some small patches of rain. But it was definitely cooler and less humid there. It felt good to wear a light jacket there in the mornings and evenings. Stepping off the plane today in Panama we ran into the stifling heat and humidity. Costa Rica also has many more tourists, so it is set up to accommodate them much better. Even the customs at the airport is much more efficient. The taxi cabs there are on meters and the whole tourist industry is set up well. But that also means much higher prices than in Panama for taxis, hotels, etc. On Friday we paid a $9 admission fee at the Gold Museum in downtown San Jose. That seemed high for what you get. We also paid $7 to tour the Teatro Nacional, which was built around 1890 and is constantly under renovation. It is much more active than the National Theatre in Panama. We could have gone to an Oscar Wilde play there Friday night for only $5. Instead our host, Indira, took us to see Slumdog Millionaire, which all of us like a lot. We went to the VIP theatre, which means you pay $8 a ticket instead of $4 and get your own individual recliner seat with a waiter to get what you want to eat or drink.
On Friday afternoon Indira took us to what may be the largest and most famous Basilica in all of Central America. It is in a suburb of San Jose called Cartago (the old capital of CR). The church is called the Basilica de Nuestra Senora de Los Angeles. It was founded in 1635 when a little girl found a statue of the "Black Madonna." The statue has shown many documented qualities over the years such as mysteriously returning to the church after being stolen a couple of times. Many people have also claimed miracles in its presence and there are large Pilgrimages each year. The church as it looks now was built in 1824 but has had to undergo many restorations.
On Saturday we took a tour to the Arenal Volcano. We were told it is the only active volcano in Costa Rica. We went with a tour group and it was a long day. We left at 8:00 AM and got back at 10:30 PM. It took 3 hours to get up to see the volcano and included a very nice buffet style lunch and dinner at a fancy resort. We had 3 hours free time in the afternoon to enjoy the natural hot spring pools. They have a hush, lush, beautiful garden and about a dozen different hot springs, so you can have some privacy if you want. The minerals are not strong smelling, but are supposed to have healthy qualities. We did not see the actual volcano because of the clouds, but I guess that happens fairly often. It was still a pretty enjoyable day. The whole package for the guide, transportation, hot springs, and meals was $99 each person. The other people on the tour were very friendly and from many different places such as Quebec, Switzerland, Austria, Costa Rica, and Texas. One couple from Costa Rica runs an online casino that apparently is very profitable. She is from London and he is from the US. Another guy we met is from Texas and is a crane operator for large building projects from around the world. He travels to wherever the jobs are and has been to Dubai, Kuwait, Thailand, and the Philippines.
I plan to post pictures in the next couple of days.

Our return reservations to Minneapolis are set for June 2. I paid the March rent yesterday and that means we only have one more month to pay and we will use the deposit we put down for the last month. Today I showed our apartment to someone who works in the same building as Nikki. She liked it but will need to figure out a few things before she decides if it will work out for her. They are putting bars on more of our apartment windows for security measures. Most of the houses in Panama have them. We are scheduled to leave for Costa Rica on Thursday night and then return on Sunday (8th). The following Sunday (15th) the first of several visitors are expected to arrive here.

Today I went to the only Indian store in town, that we know of, and bought some Mango Pickle and Besan Flour to bring to the person we are staying with in Costa Rica. Apparently she can't find those things there so she asked us to bring them. We leave Thursday night and return on Sunday. One of the days there we plan to tour the city of San Jose and the other day we have signed up for an all day group tour to the Arenal Volcano. We plan to bring the camera so should have some pictures to post when we get back.
We didn't get to see Slumdog yesterday. When we went to the theatre they informed us that the show wouldn't actually be playing until Sunday, even though it was advertisd as starting Saturday. We stayed at the mall and got some shopping done anyway, so it wasn't a wasted trip.
Since we are scheduled to leave on June 2, we are starting to think more about what we want to move back to the US, what we will sell, and what we will give away. When we came last June I shipped about a dozen boxes down here, but it will be more complicated to ship it back from here. We may only ship a couple of boxes of books and we had another idea on how to send the rest of the things. A couple of our visitors have offered to carry some of our stuff back with them since they can check up to two bags each and have extra space.
