I mentioned in an earlier post about our goal of getting the kitchen put together during our recent visit. Some of our experience might help some future residents with this task. With only eight days in Boquete we wanted to purchase and install our refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, microwave/hood. We had done a little research online but not much “hands on” shopping in David. While some/most of these items are now available in Boquete, we decided upon David due to selection and hopefully pricing. As it turns out, spending money is pretty easy. We found everything we wanted (yes we made some comprimises, but are satisfied) at Audiofoto in El Terronal mall. (more…)

We’ve been away from the computer for a few days in Cabo San Lucas. It’s been over 6 years since we were in that area and the American invasion seems unrelenting. Lots of luxury resorts, timeshares and more in the works. I have to say our biggest disappointment was in the price we paid for a shot of Tequila at our previous beach bar hang out. $3 six years ago for Don Julio reposado has turned into $13. Cervasa $1.25 to $5. Some of that money went into improved bathrooms, but we couldn’t afford to drink enough to make good use of them either. That said, the beaches are still beautiful and amazingly quiet just outside of town. The relative solitude of Boquete and Valle Escondido is much appreciated.
