It was cloudy for that big full moon here, but got a neat shot anyhow. #panama

Very cool new restaurant in Casco Viejo - KAANDELA. All scratch, fire-cooked on a wood burning Argentinian grill.
I had the crispy pork shank that was served mu-shu style with hand-made flatbread.

Puerto Armuelles is a quaint beach town right on the Costa Rican border. In part of the town one side of the road is Panama and the other is Cost Rica.

Ever wonder what the best high-end restaurant in Panama is? It’s the city’s best-kept secret.

One of my favorite restaurants in #boquete Basar.

It’s another gorgeous day in Boquete. If any of you are here I hope you brought earplugs for the next two nights of Féria. It’s going to be loud and late in Bajo.

Another day chasing the perfect cup of coffee in Panama. This was at Cafe Don Nery in Boquete, sitting next to the farm where it's grown. #panamaexpats

Hi all. First post in this feed for expats in Panama.
I've been living in Panama since '21.
I am a permanent legal resident. Previously I was in Panama City and then moved to Boquete, where the temperatures are like an east-coast US spring day every day.
Feel free to ask any questions you'd like.

Over morning coffee I realized it's been a minute since I've logged in.
Everyone ready to ignore Monday's shitshow?
How are you all anti-celebrating?

Just sitting here giving zero shits about kendrik and lamar and kyle or whatever millionaire idiot is bitching about something today. Insufferable twats.

The best part of waking up is some Pacamara natural process #coffee from a guy you know in your cup.
Buen día.

Actually got a sunrise this morning. Haven’t had a clear morning in weeks.
November 18, 2024 at 7:39 PM
I thought these assholes weren't allowed here? Did I miss the memo?

Surf’s up. Santa Teresa Costa Rica just after sunrise. #beachpix
