March 2008

Welcome to the MAY edition of YourPanama.com This month we have four articles on a wide variety of subjects – everything from student protests to shopping and the solving of an age old mystery. Our dry season is just hanging in there, if we can make two more weeks of dry weather than we have a record of six months of glorious weather. This is as close to heaven as you would want to be this side of eternity.

Playa Tortuga is set to announce some condo/duplex homes that will be ocean view and fronting a beautiful ornamental lake. The price is in the $125,000 range. Considering what else is available in Panama, this is a bargain. We love the Puerto Armuelles area and next month (promise) we will have an article on the town and its surroundings.

Last months article on the rare bird, the Maria Vega, turns out to be a bit of a scoop. It appears that the photo we showed was of the only bird known to exist. If you are a birder please go to our IMAGES button and follow the links for BIRDS. The pictures are free and yes, the Maria Vega may well be the rarest bird on this planet.
