But then there have been concerns about Panama's financial sector, and so a select team of experts was assembled to research and document the financial sector. Unfortunately that is not working out too well. http://www.newsroompanama.com/news/panama/star-members-varela-committee-resign

Marcelyn and I recently came across a new, small and cozy restaurant at Plaza San Francisco. The name is "The Garden". It is located immediately to the right of Mort's Bakehouse. Plaza San Francisco is becoming a "happening place". And plenty of parking. We have been to The Garden twice, and both times were pleasant experiences. The Garden is not a typical restaurant where you go in, sit down (or wait to be seated), and then order from a menu. There are menus, but ordering is more cafeteria style. You go to the end of the food line (farthermost point from the front door) and go through various stations to order drinks, salads, soups, veggies, main courses, etc. They have many of what we would call healthy foods, such as protein drinks, vegan dishes, organic salads, etc. Be forewarned that the food is excellent, and the servings are large. At our second visit, some friends joined us and their orders included a smoked trout plate (which was described as the best he had ever had, and she ordered a wonderful chicken, rice, and black bean plate, with an enormous salad). Hours of operation are Mondays to Fridays from 9:00AM to 5:00PM, and the lunch menu (salads, soups, baked potatoes, hamburgers, etc.) starts at 11:00AM. Currently closed on weekends. The prices are very reasonable, and the ambiance is warm and inviting. The wall mural adds so much to the dining experience. The operators are Andrew Foote and his wife Romsey. The decor was well planned and executed to give one the feeling of being in a garden (hence the name The Garden). The Garden also sells fresh seafood. They are wanting Panamanians to bring their products in for display, such as honey, aprons, coffees, etc. -- locally made, produced, and grown items. Here are some pictures that Romsey made available to us:

Visit Panama.com ..promo and info site
Bud replied to Keith Woolford's topic in Tourism, Outdoor activities, Recreation,
Agree, Keith. That is a very nicely done website. -
We have used a very nice man for many years -- Sr Rodolfo Vargas, His cel numbers are 6447-7675, 6998-7017, 6224-5068. There also are some large commercial concerns that do this work, but I have no experience with them. One that I have heard of is something like "Truly Nolan" (not real sure about the name).

Death in Panama: Dying at Home
Bud replied to JudyS's topic in Legal Matters and Processes, Consumer Protection, Etc.
Thanks Judy. These are, at best, difficult topics to discuss, and your experiences are valuable for our community. -
Great reply, Roger B. With the greatest respect for all involved in this project, and especially including Mayor Emigdio Walker Vasquez, every time I re-read the mayor's feedback (see above post by Keith) from last Tuesday's public meeting, I get the feeling of a "whitewash". I remain skeptical.

I believe Skype can also receive text messages. Can someone confirm that? Or is it only Skype version of text messages? Hmmm. -
New Construction across from La Posada
Bud replied to TwoSailors's topic in Help Desk / Concierge Services (“I need ...”)
Unsolicited opinion here. In looking at the ongoing construction of the new Super Barú here in downtown Boqueteville, it appears that it will be a rather small store, only two stories high. Straight-in, off-street parking will be in front of the building, and my guess is about eight slots, mas o menos. Once the store is completed and in operation, that will be a very crowded area. But at least there will be some serious competition for the current grocery stores. Competition is always good. Even though it would have been more distance [from where we live], I actually would have preferred the Super Barú to be in Alto Boquete where there would be more space for both the store and the parking. It wasn't my decision, however. Such is life. -

Gail has always been supportive of our community. A year and a half ago she made a special effort to accommodate an unusual travel schedule for two of our closest friends from the states by providing a special brunch and briefing and viewing of her hummingbirds. Johnnie and Larry were in awe of what Gail had achieved, and further that she was so open with her home. The food she prepared was wonderful. It is a day that Johnnie, Larry, Marcelyn and I could never forget. In this intervening time, Johnnie and Larry have both passed away. And with Gail's recent loss of her husband, we are saddened beyond words. Marcelyn and I will be contributing to help Gail through these difficult times. To make things easier on everyone, Marcelyn and I will be leaving an envelope with our contribution at MBE Boquete for Kris Berg or perhaps someone Kris designates to retrieve and add to the donated funds for Gail. The envelope will simply have "For the Benefit of Gail Cody" on the outside of the envelope. Perhaps others from our community who have had similar experiences with Gail can follow suit. Just a suggestion.
