Erik, thanks once again for sharing such fascinating stories. I learn much of your culture, past and present, from your well-crafted letters. If my father were still present, I would have so much to ask him. He could explain old photos, ones filled with incredible information but now almost completely mute as he is not here to comment as to where, when, who, why…… I know almost nothing of his family except his grandmother was and American Indian. His history would change nothing but would be of great interest to me, just as are the things your father experienced are interesting to me. You know, I find the life experiences and stories of simple people to be the most interesting. I rather avoid reading about the lives of famous and infamous historical figures. But, it is almost impossible to find honest writings of a simple person's experiences. And, the truth be known, there are not enough good, insightful writers. Most, in my opinion, prostitute their true artistic skills just to survive in a highly competitive business. Anyway, thanks again and please share more at your pleasure. And now, I will enjoy this glorious Panamanian day by doing what I do every day which is to do ONLY things I find interesting and pleasing. I will start with a breakfast of papaya, maracuya (a type of passion fruit), quinoa with plantains (a type of banana), mango, and the world's finest coffee which is grown 3 kilometers from my house. Combine all this with the morning's music selection (I think it will be some Argentine Milonga's today), the perfect companion, and a clear view of Vulcan Baru's summit…… Nirvana…. I have truly earned my local nickname, El Hedonista. I send you Peace and Happiness….
