Free Day

It's the Sunday after St. Patrick's Day and the little woman is getting ready to head to David to waste some money at the local casino. There's a fair in David as well so the city should be hopping. Not one to get excited about gambling save for two or three times a year, nor do I much like David as a place of exceptional entertainment, I get a free day to indulge in as much or as little as I like.

I ran into a gringo at The Bistro yesterday whilst enjoying a little post lunch dessert who pointed me to a weekly Tuesday meeting of expatriates at one of the local hotels. 'Pete' lives in the capital and comes to Boquete once a year to enjoy the climate and hook up with old friends. Him and his wife and daughter were big on Panama City and Casco Viejo in particular.

The Tuesday meeting apparently consists of a speaker of some sort followed by networking with the 'been there done that' crowd. This week is supposed to be a woman speaking on holistic health stuff or some new-agey thing. It sometimes seems you can never leave the left coast.

The weather is gorgeous and it's heading towards noon so I'm off to some leisurely internet surfing and to upload today's missive at the outdoor café. Tchau.
