We had a lot of fun at the Halloween party we attended at Woody's on Saturday night. We met a couple who are new retirees from Connecticut and have just moved here permanently. Nancy and Bob have a home at Royal Decameron Resort.Will definitely call them in the near future for a get together.
Bob and I had to call a taxi to go to the party and did find one that would pick us up but we weren't sure he understood until he showed up at the gate. Turns out he is a friend of our neighbour but speaks no English. Shared a taxi van home with some rowdies from the resort at Playa Blanca.
Today we went to Penonome on the bus... well sort of ... they can be 11 passenger vans or bigger buses but not like the buses at home. We'll have to take some pics to post. Anyway we were crammed in like sardines, but airconditioned. When we got to Penonome, the street was closed and we all had to get out so we had to find a cab to take us the rest of the way to the Iguana Mall where the pet store and Super 99 grocery are that we were going to shop at. We can pay with our Canadian credit card at most stores. You just need to show a photocopy of your passport. The round trip of 80 km. cost us $6.00. Most bus fares are $1.00 a person and you tell them where you want to get off . They are private enterprises and operate along the Pan American highway (in all shapes and sizes). You have to ask if they are going as far as you want when they pull over
