A Win/Win when we are all allowed to "gather" again. The BCP Theater still in place and use, The Tuesday Market Bigger and Better than ever... and a great place for Lunch and a cold one, Tap Out. Well done all the folks who worked so hard to make this happen for the Boquete Community. Gracias.

Hi... was able to get $500 out today from US bank. At same ATM I had trouble with on Fri. On Monday person in Banco General told me it was a temporary ATM system problem.

Have no idea of policy's here re the ATM. My experience yesterday was my debit card transaction was refused 3 xs at Super Baru ATM Machine. An Employee confirmed that the machine was working. I was attempting, as usual, to withdraw $500 from my bank in the US"s daily limit. Went home worried about something wrong with my bank account. I checked... and All looked OK. I later viewed some info from others that it had happened to them too, so I was relieved. My bank pays back the fees. I will check on Monday to see if I can get cash, and if I need to go to more than one machine. This is all I know at this point. Wondered if others had more experience and information? Thanks.

Sent by friends from Boquete who now live in Florida.... personally loved Day 13 ... now if there only Was some wine. Day 1 – I Can Do This!! Got enough food and wine to last a month! Day 2 – Opening my 8th bottle of Wine. I fear wine supplies might not last Day 3 – Strawberries: Some have 210 seeds, some have 235 seeds. Who Knew?? Day 4 – 8:00pm. Removed my Day Pajamas and put on my Night Pajamas. Day 5 – Today, I tried to make Hand Sanitizer. It came out as Jello Shots!! Day 6 – I get to take the Garbage out. I’m So excited, I can’t decide what to wear. Day 7 – Laughing way too much at my own jokes!! Day 8 – Went to a new restaurant called “The Kitchen”. You have to gather all the ingredients and make your own meal. I have No clue how this place is still in business. Day 9 – I put liquor bottles in every room. Tonight, I’m getting all dressed up and going Bar hopping. Day 10 – Struck up a conversation with a Spider today. Seems nice. He’s a Web Designer. Day 11 – Isolation is hard. I swear my fridge just said, “What the hell do you want now?” Day 12 – I realized why dogs get so excited about something moving outside, going for walks or car rides. I think I just barked at a squirrel. Day 13 – If you keep a glass of wine in each hand, you can’t accidentally touch your face. Day 14 – Watched the birds fight over a worm. The Cardinals led the Blue Jays 3–1. Day 15 – Anybody else feel like they’ve cooked dinner about 395 times this month?

From my BFF in our former home state California ( whose leaders I think are doing a good job, although we are happier to be in Boquete).

We told our 2 employees ( married) who work inside and outside for us for 15 years to "Stay home" and they will be paid. I am concerned for their family as well as Dave and me. They whatsapped me this week that they miss working .. and us. I am very impressed with how very seriously our local community is taking all the rules.Palante, Palante, Keep on Keeping on. Salud our dear Boquete.

Hurrah... i was headed there Wednesday, after checking to see if their office was going to be open. This is good news. Plus, while being at the end of a long line at Romero s, I and another gentleman of "a certain age", were ushered to the front of the line. Being a Jublilado has its benefits. Also want to thank Bud and Marcelyn for their suggestion of having something with your address here in Boquete , in your car, for the Check Point at Caldera, just in case.

Thank You Phil and BCP Council members. Good decision.

Dear Alison and Bill, Your Flossie was the very first "Other Dog" our rescue Ridley wanted to be friends with after we adopted him. We were at Kris Bergs when we brought him in for "socializing". Flossy was so friendly to him ... and he was very scared of other dogs... so we always loved Flossy . Rainbow Bridge. Abrazos, Erin Ross

We were so taken aback, and saddened to hear this news. Michael taught a stretching class at The Haven. I learned how to get up from a fallen position without needing a wall or piece of furniture. Very important at our age. Is there a Memorial for him?

So many in our community were there today. At The Local St. John Church... It was full. Young, old,locals,gringo friends.. The Family welcomed all the embraces as those who wanted to express their grief for Hanna's passing and their love to her family lined up. There were so many. The High Mass was beautiful. The young and older musicians soared with their music for Hanna. The Priest sang and spoke to the entirely Full Church. A photo would have shown a sea of white clothing... (requested for their daughter). Boquete. Our Home. Blessings

Aaahh. Another Boquete Friend lost. Blessings and healing thoughts to his family.

Tears in my eyes, a smile on my face, and toes that are tapping. Thank you BHH (Boquete Health and Hospice)
