Si quiere conocer la Casa Blanca sin visitarla esta es su película. Comedia dramática sobre un presidente de Estados Unidos viudo y una cabildera que se enamoran. Todo está a la vista, pero "la política es percepción", y las chispas vuelan de todos modos.
If you want to know the White House without visiting it, this is your movie. Comedy-drama about a widowed U.S. President and a lobbyist who fall in love. It's all above-board, but "politics is perception", and sparks fly anyway.

The 5 Rites
(15 Minutes Of Daily Exercise)
Presented by Michael Cooper at The Haven Hotel
Testimonials From Recent Attendees....
April 2018
--KJERSTEN VAN HORN, 14 year Boquete Resident & Businesswoman says
I took Michael’s 5 Rites class two months ago. It was a one of the best things I have ever done for myself. I have been doing the exercises every day and can really feel the improvement in my physical and mental health.
I had a bad shoulder injury about a year ago with a result of 4 pins in my shoulder and a metal plate down my arm with another 3 pins holding my shoulder together. Since I took the rites class and continue to do my exercises every day it has helped the mobility of my arm and shoulder and totally relieved the discomfort I had with that metal plate in my arm!
Michael is an excellent teacher and knows his subject matter thoroughly. What I truly enjoyed about his class is his enthusiasm for what he teaches and the personal attention he gives to each of his students caring for their individual needs. I liked Michael’s 5 Rites class so much I started taking his yoga classes once a week and have incorporated that in my daily exercise routine. I would recommend this class to anyone and everyone!

—MERL WILL-WALLACE, Boquete Resident & Businessman says “Ten weeks ago I took the Five Tibetan Rites at The Haven from Michael Cooper... For years I have had paroxysmal vertigo, which makes me sick to my stomach any time that I lay down or spin around... Within a week the vertigo was gone. Almost immediately I found I had a lot more energy. I have also lost 10 pounds with no change in diet, except I don't tolerate coffee as well as I used to (way too much energy now)...Most importantly, my stubborn high blood pressure is now normal. Overall I feel stronger, more flexible and, well, yes younger. Thank you Michael for introducing me to this miracle in my life." (SEE BELOW FOR MERL'S FULL TESTIMONY)
--MERL WILL-WALLACE - UPDATE Feb 12, 2018
Michael, it has been 6 months now since I took your clinic on the five Tibetan rites and am still amazed by how increasingly healthy I feel. My energy continues to increase each week, leaving me to wonder if there is no top end to this practice and health. The five exercises have gotten easier and easier with each passing week to the point they seem effortless (even number 4, which I thought I could never do). I have to say, rain or shine, the five Tibetan rites are an essential part of my day.
--ADRIANA SPITTELER, Boquete Resident says
Michael has been one of the best teachers I've had. I joined his "5 Rites Clinic" in September 2017 and when I started I could not lift my head at all when lying on the floor. Michael showed me special exercises to strengthen my neck-muscles and I have fully regained my strength to lift my head, it's really incredible. I really love it and normally do my "5 Rites" in the morning. It takes me 15-20 min max, including some intermediary stretching exercises (introduced by Michael as well). Michael is not only a fantastic practitioner, but also an excellent teacher. With his skills, his passion and compassion he did instill a love for daily practice, which I never thought would suit me. I have to admit, the "5 Rites" have changed my life for the better and I thank Michael for convincing me to join his clinic. Do the same and you will see and feel positive changes soon! (SEE BELOW FOR ADRIANA'S FULL TESTIMONY)
--LAURA, Boquete Resident says "Something my husband and I can do and encourage each other while doing....Notice increased stamina/strength....My clothes are and continue to get looser...must go shopping!...Now I look at my calves and wonder 'Whose are these anyway?' They look so different!...Like the convenience of doing it at home in comfy clothes...much more likely for me to keep it up if it's at home, doesn't take much time and I get noticeable results relatively quickly.
Thank you Michael for all you do,
Laura (SEE BELOW FOR FULL TESTIMONY)
—CLEO, Boquete Resident says "I am 74 years old and a few months ago I attended The 5 Rites class from Michael. It has been very beneficial for me. Better balance, feel stronger and more stamina. I like the fact that I can do the exercises at home in a short amount of time."
--BRAD DRAKE, Boquete Resident & Personal Trainer says "A year ago we began the 5 Rites exercise routine as taught by Michael at The Haven...it has become a part of my lifestyle, and a big reason I don't need adjustments anymore. I would recommend this short but powerful exercise routine for anyone and just about everyone." (SEE BELOW FOR FULL TESTIMONY)
--EM, Boquete Resident says "Michael, thank you so much.... just wanted to say 2 days down but can already feel a big difference in myself afterwards. It seems to make me more energetic but also things are brighter and clearer. I am benefiting hugely from more blood flow and oxygen. Seriously, for 10 mins effort, this is a winner!"

Community Christmas Party Hosted by Amigos de Boquete Comunidad
By Moderator_02,
Marcelyn and I attended this fabulous Christmas Party at La Posada Restaurant this afternoon. Besides the usual Christmas season festivities, one purpose for this party was to collect Christmas gifts for the local children. There was no entrance fee, but attendees were asked to bring wrapped Christmas gifts for distribution by the local churches. Our estimate is that about 50 people were in attendance, and all enjoyed the fantastic music of a seven member mariachi band. What a great performance on their part; they were very good at getting the attendees involved by singing and dancing with them. La Posada had extra waitstaff to take care of drink and food orders. The party was in a large room at the rear of La Posada -- could not have been a better venue for this kind of gathering.
The party was planned and executed by a recently formed group of expats under the name of Amigos de Boquete Comunidad (ABC). Joe Hart and his wife, Linda, along with numerous volunteers put together this festive gathering. Our hats off to Joe, Linda, and all of their elves.
Here are a few pictures from this event:

ARF Thanksgiving Meal
By Bud,
Marcelyn and I were participants in ARF's Thanksgiving Day event at the Animales Building. There was a LOT of VERY GOOD food, great conversations, visits with friends, etc. We estimate there were about 70 guests and maybe 15 worker-bees taking care of setting up, tending to the guests, etc. The background music was nice, and not so loud as to intrude into the conversations. The pecan pie was simply outstanding. Kudos to that chef! But I also do not want to take away from any of the other food items. I sampled all the food choices, and there was nothing to apologize for on that front.
An unexpected plus for us was that we finally got to meet Beth Abrahams (it is kind of a long story, don't ask).
Beth Abrahams
We also got to catch up with all of the latest travels and happenings of our friends who were at our table. Met a few new people, etc.
There simply was nothing that we could fault (not our goal anyway). This is the way things should be done, and ARF did it with all of their wonderful volunteers. If someone found fault with something yesterday, then I would chalk them off as being a token curmudgeon. Thank you ARF! GREAT JOB!!!!
Thank you to all who helped make yesterday's Thanksgiving Day celebration such a huge success, and special thanks to N&N:
I will close with: we all have a lot to be thankful for.

One Night in India
By JudyS,
I think $55 for one person is a lot of money to spend on a dinner in Boquete. I've never spent that much for an Indian dinner anywhere.
