Buy Cafe Duran... the best coffee in the world!
What Time is it in Timbuktu?


Have you had your cup of Cafe Duran today?

No empuje...Yo dije no empuje! Que te pasa? Suave... suave... What is the rush? Yes this will be one of our first stop on our tour of one of the most special places in the entire world. It is full with beautiful people. The food is delicious and the coffee is out of sight! Just ask for Cafe Duran... You know more people in Panama drink this fabulous beverage. Hot or cold it is great! If you stay with us you will explore a lost paradise at the crossroads of world commerce in the heart of the universe. This enchanting land where magic is at your fingertips is only a few hours south of Miami. I plan to give you a preview of what it was to have had the good fortunate to have been born in Panama and spend all my early years in the old Canal Zone. Yes, Welcome to my corner of the world. We also plan to visit Cocoli… the best little town site on the banks of the Panama Canal. Enjoy your visit. You are welcome to join us when we go to the beach or just go on safari. If there are any questions or comments feel free to E-Mail Me… I will try to answer them manana. My Golden Retriever answers all the mail but since it is the dog days of summer, which means it is hot-hot he rather hang out in the pool. But never fear we will get back to you. So stay with us for you will be glad you did. God bless you and yours… and you all come back… you hear? Hasta la vista and Buena Suerte! May the Force be with you…


This is the life...
