Hello beautiful, good to know that you are well.🌼🌺🌸

I really enjoyed the tour today!! You have such a soothing voice!

I love El Valle and one day, i will Make a tiny house near el cerro la Silla, where my mom have some land. Can't wait, to enjoy nature.

Your owner's manual or the internet should tell you what fuse runs your power windows. You should probably have a selection of fuses in the car. There may even be extra stored in the fuse box.

I bet you're happy to have your car back. That tree in the park is a wisteria tree or a form of it. I want to shop in that store. Love you and I'm having coffee with you as I type.

That was a fun tour, thank you for this video😊

delightful video... nice to see some familiar sights. its so funny to see places like that ferreteria that also sells food! things like that are common in much of the world but so counter to the very specialized places we are used to in the US and Canada. good to know about the recycling depot. this is always a concern for me when travelling around Latin America. I stayed at the Golden Frog so they took care of all the recycling during my stay there. not sure if you know this - when you showed the Melo store... the CIA part is an abbreviation for "compania", so it's Melo and Company in English. I didnt know that when I was there. I had to ask my girlfriend when I got back to Mexico. right now I am in San Cristobal de las Casas Mexico. the landscape is kind of similar to El Valle - I can see at least 6 mountains from my air bnb and the town sort of sits in a flat area surrounded by peaks. of course the big difference here is the old center of town is all colonial era buildings... oh, and we are at 7000 ft elevation so it's almost always temperate. anyways, cheers and thanks for the video!

4:10 rezoning wait times are 3 years and up!!!

had to reply again to your comment about how do all these places stay in business when there are so many of them selling the same things? ya, and they are always stacked to the rafters in goods. that what I dont get about Latin America. so many independent businesses all selling the same things, and often things that would be in low demand. I think Mexico its even more extreme than Panama. the ratio of businesses to population must be at least 10x what you get in the US and Canada. in Guadalajara they have some blocks downtown where there are a dozen papelerias clustered together, then on the next block 10 stores that sell party supplies and decorations, then on the next block 8 opticians and thats not even mentioning the fresh food markets where you have many dozens of people selling food... all that would be replaced by a single grocery store in our home countries. I have lost track of how many times I have wondered and asked "how do all these people make a living?" when so often the number of vendors is greater than the number of clientes!

You silly, the incentive is not for them to approve it so that you could pay taxes. The incentive for them is to delay the approval as much as possible so that you will cash up to expedite approval.

5:25 OMG! Why do you pay Naturgy bill in the story. Just the usual bank transfer will suffice.

hi Patty! can you tell me.....at the 14:20 mark.....are those bags wheat berries by any chance? i mill my own flour and have been wondering if i can get wheat berries in panama

Don't let anybody tell you "If you give me x amount of money I can make the process move faster."
