Welcome to Cholo’s.  That’s the first thing you hear as you walk through the door at Cholo’s Comidas Mexicana Restaurant, and the second thing is “How are you guys doin’?” 

The source of the greeting is Owen, gracious host, bartender, waiter and definitely official greeter at this delightful family run restaurant offering authentic Mexican cuisine.

Incredible Culinary Experience at Miraflores Locks Restuarant & Bar


Octopus Drizzled In Sour Tamarind Sauce

Almost every visitor to Panamá will take in one of the great Wonders of the World, the Panamá Canal. Between the Bridge of the Americas and The Centenary Bridge sits Miraflores Locks, the most visited of all the locks. This is also the location of the current expansion where two new locks are being constructed.

Although I have visited Miraflores locks many times proudly touring friends and family as part of their Panamá experience, I was not aware of the elegant restaurant located on the second floor.

Encounter with Three-Toed Sloth

  

As Wendy and I headed out for a nice lunch and a trip to the market in the mountain town of El Valle de Antón, we saw something in the road but had no idea what it was. Wendy quickly jumped out of the car with her camera around her neck and ran to the rescue. Not knowing what it was, I was fearful for Wendy as the creature had three long claws.

Fishing in Santa Catalina


Santa Catalina Beach at Sunset

Santa Catalina is located on the Pacific Coast of Veraguas providence. Best known for incredible surfing and diving, Santa Catalina attracts surfers and divers from all over the globe. It is most comparable to Oahu’s own Sunset Beach. The aquatic life along Isla Coiba is not short of amazing!

Enough about surfing and diving! I traveled to Santa Catalina to go fishing.

As the old saying goes: “the worst day of fishing is still better than any day working.”
