I doubt very much that you are going to get any US $1000 or $500 bills: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_denominations_of_United_States_currency They have been out of circulation for years and if you do come across any they are worth a lot more then face value for collectors. Bring $100 bills, all banks and merchants accept them now.

Had lunch at Chopsticks yesterday. Mostly Panamains at the time we were there. Place about 70% full. Pros: Location, atmosphere, food, very friendly, quick service, plenty of parking and fair price. Cons: limited menu, no beer, and wine yet. Thought the flavors of the food was very good and very good size portions. Our bill with tip was $12.00. Whenever our bill is under $15 we do not ask for the Jubilado discount. We will return! BTW they open at noon.

We spent the day Monday getting the paperwork for our E Cedula in PC with our attorneys representative. We asked him what the Panamanians thought of this new train? He expressed that if you ask the majority of average Panamanians they will say what is the purpose of this train? For more tourist? He said many people of Panama are tired of all the corruption, lack of improved schools for better education, overcrowded Medical Facilities. Those issues are more important to them than a train to Costa Rica.

This was brought up at a presentation at the BCP on Oct 31st. It appears it is a work in progress. From what Irma said Alpha Clinic is expanding and will be offering more services and doctors. Evidently, they are looking for a bigger facility in the hopes of seeing folks make fewer trips to David for medical services. Irma and Alpha clinic is offering an inexpensive plan. Perhaps Irma will make an announcement here soon.
