Got a call from Zach. He and Danyell, a young couple from Colorado, ended up buying sight unseen a nice little corner lot one block off the main road here in El Valle. It's only a few blocks from our house. Z&D are still in Colorado, and the reason Zach called is that he was concerned about some of the recent laws passed by the Panamanian legislature. I'll write more about that later, but first, I forgot to ask, hey Zach! Can we pick your mangoes? Your lot has a large mango tree on it and the fruit is ripe and falling.
Lack of response will be interpreted as consent.
Here are some photos of Z&D's lot that Laura took some months ago when Linda was thinking about buying something here. Click on the photos to see larger versions:
