It’s easy to believe I’m in paradise —temperatures 70°F year round, orchids, pinapples, bananas, citrus growing out in front, monkeys and parrots in the trees, and having all this along with high-speed internet life can be pretty easy.

But this is Panama; 30 miles west of here the government’s got a goofy currency, new fees/permits and headaches every time you turn around, and the gov’t shuts down the internet any time it suits ‘em. We have a lot of people living here that moved in from Costa Rica.

I’m so envious and at the same time so glad that you took the step to live a simpler life in the tropics. Do you feel a bit removed from all this gloomy news while in tropical paradise? Just curious if this situation is hitting your pocket book as well? If so, I guess you could always pull out your fishing rod and then pick some fresh fruit.
