Do you know this dog? This female dog was found by the police at their checkpoint on the Via Boquete, at the intersection with Caldera. She is now in a foster home, but she is in such good condition that her foster mom thinks she may have an owner and is perhaps lost rather than abandoned. She is very social with people and other dogs, perfect in weight, has no fleas or ticks and she has been spayed. She is rather large, bigger than the average Panamanian dog, and her foster mom has named her Queenie for now. She is a wonderful girl and someone may be missing her dearly. But if her owner is not found, she will be available for adoption this weekend.

Want to give a party without all the cooking.......call us. Nancy cell 6857-9536 Boquete, Panama

"I just returned from a short trip to Santa Catalina and this is what I noticed when I was there. The hotel where I stayed has 5 zillion steps up to it on the top of a hill. Walking down these stairs was a challenge as the width of each step-top to bottom- varied. Some were 1 step wide, some were 2 steps wide and some were even 3 steps wide. I noticed, wanting to be as rhythmic as possible descending these stairs, that I had to look at each approaching step and evaluate how many steps I would be taking to navigate myself down. Obviously, they required quite a bit of concentration and skill. One afternoon- having lots of time on my hands- I decided to do a Pilates Magic Circle work-out, by placing my yoga mat on the wooden lanai in front of my room. After doing so, what I noticed, was that as I descended the stairs on my way down, I didn't need to evaluate how I'd be stepping. All I needed to do was look at the step in front of me and my body/mind naturally knew what to do. I found myself rhythmically descending the stairs with much more ease and grace than before my work-out. Being the Pilates advocate and fan that I am, I stood there at the bottom of the stairs in awe of my experience, and inwardly thanked Joseph Pilates for the exceptionally great exercise form he created!" - Susan Clare- Pilates Instructor Come to class and try it for yourself! I was a Yoga instructor for over 20 years, who always integrated some Pilates into the Yoga. But now, after attaining a Pilates Instructor's Certification, I've been teaching Pilates solely for almost 5 years. Doing so, I'm constantly amazed at how Pilates does it all! It builds muscles, improves balance, develops flexibility, increases core strength, enhances coordination, teaches good posture and, to top it all off, is a ton of fun! Pilates also doesn't ask the student to do anything potentially harmful to the body, or any type of asymmetrical configuration. In short, Pilates was way ahead of his time and deeply knew what he was doing. I'm in awe at the intelligence of the terrific exercise system he created. Go Pilates! Ongoing Pilates Mat Classes Using Props - 4 mornings weekly- Mondays, Tuesdays , Thursdays and Fridays, 8:30- 9:30 a.m., in the Incomparably beautiful exercise room at the Haven. All props provided- including mats, different size balls, light hand weights, stretchy bands. *Experiences with the Magic Circle and the foam roller are offered as well as effective substitutions, in support of ordering your own from Amazon in the states.

Chef Chris Young writes: I recently saw an article my friend Eric with 2 guys and a cooler put out on his newsletter. This article was hilarious, he went into great detail about an observation he made about the street performers in David. These people are more than likely backpackers making there way through central America on a limited budget, and stand at the stop lights demonstrating crazy talents like blowing bubbles, juggling and much more. Erics article, was very thought out and crafted in a way where he explains, how frequent the stoplights change, how many hours a day the people exhibit there talents and hypothesized approximately how much these artist are capable of making per day, week , month and year! This total was upwards in the range of $50,000 dollars per year. I thought that was insane, but he is more than often correct when he does these calculations! So this got me thinking, what if we put his theory to the test? If someone actually spent a afternoon in the hot summer streets of David at a stoplight, doing something like this, how much could be made? So I propose this challenge to you Eric! I challenge you to an afternoon in the streets doing a trick, with you on one side of the street and me on the other side of the street, after the time we choose to do this If my tips exceed your tips, I get yours and will donate everything to The Handicap foundation here in Boquete, and if yours exceeds mine than you get my tips and you donate all the funds to a charity of your choosing!! I look forward to hearing back from you!! Eric does not know I am doing this!!!
