Another Easy Day in Laidback Panama:
By Nanette Witmer
I am sitting enjoying the last of the rainy season with my cup of freshly ground Panama coffee looking out at all the greenery surrounding me.
Looking back over the last ten years in Panama, it has been a wild ride. Things have ebbed and flowed but i now feel like a local. I know the backroads around the city, known where to find bargains, and which restaurants are the best.
Most days I find myself on the computer writing and working with periodic stops to wander around outside to stretch my legs and enjoy the cooler weather the rainy season has brought. During this time of year, I generally stay close to home in the afternoons since that is when we get our hefty rain storms with wind and lightning. But sometimes you need a change of pace.
On Saturday I went with friends to Boquete to see my favorite expat band play some good old rock and roll music. The Barbeque spread was great, $14 for ribs, beans, and homemade mac and cheese. Of course, adding a few Panama beers in at $1.50 each. It was a great way to spend a rainy afternoon, with rock music, barbecue and friends.
It’s a great life here in Panama and I love my flexible schedule which allows me to have fun when I want with friends. My lifestyle here is easy and delightful.
