Yup, I meant to mention that.
And a couple of hints, bring lots of quarters - several rolls - and bring nothing bigger than $20's - vendors get a little picky. And unless you plan well, you will go home with a bunch of silver dollars.
OH, and make sure your bank has international debit support and you can get cash here from the plethora of ATMs.

My favorite coffee was the Cafe Lojano brand.
|
I will definitely find it and get some, thanks,
I told my wife today I was going to have a problem, I need to decide between coming home to her and staying here with the coffee. She said she understood - she came with me once and fell in love with the coffee too.
We found the same brand at home in the states, and it just wasn't the same. The coffee here is amazing,

Real “Panama“ hats are actually made in Ecuador and they’re not cheap. They got that moniker by being popularly sold in Panama.

I heard it was a president (Rosevelt?) that made them popular when he wore one to Panama. Don't know if it is true.
I looked around for one, and when I found it I said to myself, I really don't like wearing a hat that much - LOL!
