We went into Panama City yesterday morning to do a little shopping. The reason we went on SUNDAY, not as much traffic and it is easier for "Gringo's" to find their way around. We left the house @ 6:30 a.m. and we were at Riba Smith grocery store @8:30 a.m.. Riba Smith's main store is in Miami, Florida, so there are quite a few stores in Puerto Rico and other areas in the Carribean. We have 3 in Panama City alone.
We went thru the store very slowly and Mike found a 12 pack of Mountain Dew and three pounds of Jimmy Dean Sausage. Life is good!!!!! Now we can have good taco's and spagetti sause.
Then it was off to find Price Smart in the City itself. We drove down the street called "Tumba Muerte" and after awhile we saw the sign "Office Max" and "Price Smart"....Yahoo
We were there at 10:10 a.m. and found alot of stuff we needed. Besides the usual we bought Bose computer speakers and a Singer sewing machine for me. It felt like money was flying out of our wallets, then we had a Price Smart hot dog and off we went trying to find our way out of the City and head towards home.
Now today it has been raining since 8 a.m. and we just heard it was only 72 degrees in Panama City. It is usually 10 to 15 degrees cooler here in El Valle. Mike is wearing his long sleeve T-Shirt and I am in leggings and a sweatshirt and a pair of Mike's socks. Of course we have the windows and doors open, I love the smell of rain..,
Another adventure in the NOT so Tropics...Wish you were all here with us, I am sure if I look hard I could find a blanket for us to share...
