(i&#8217;ve never been there). it also doesn&#8217;t seem like it belongs here (from what i&#8217;ve seen of panama so far)&#8230;.it&#8217;s just too nice. the owner of the hotel i&#8217;m at is a retired german ship captain. unfortunately, he has no contacts for shipping my boat&#8230;or tagging along for a ride. he&#8217;s also selling the hotel here for $1.3M<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style
