Happy New Year Tom.
Thanks for thee emails about Panama. Has changed in some many years. I left in 1962 and have return in years. Went last year for my sister funeral only for 3 days. I miss my country, but now I am 86 and health issues, that will not be easy to make a trip. Since my retirement from the U.S. Gov after 38 years working, I miss work. I am 86 now and after a stroke forget about traveling alone.
I appreciate your time in emailing me pictures about my country.
God, bless you and enjoy your living there.
