I only went to the seafood market in PC once but there is a small stand that made the most wonderful, flavorful, slightly spicy shrimp ceviche that still makes my mouth water just thinking about it. It’s almost worth the seven-hour bus ride from David just to get some. ALMOST, but not quite.
Hello Richard:
Next time you’re in the city, I promise to take you there so you can taste your favorite seafood dish.
Due to my reflux problems, I have to avoid eating acid food, so that makes ceviche out of my diet. But in the past, they were my favorite dish.
A motorcycle ride from Boquerón to Panama City, would be an interesting experience to write about in your blog. How about it?
Take Care,

I love those tables and chairs. They remind me of the new decor that showed up in many cafes and restaurants in Galveston after the post-Ike rebuilding. People went for cement block, tile and metal – things that could be hosed down and sanitized!
In New Orleans there used to be (probably still is since it was an institution) a seafood restaurant on the river side of Magazine Street just below Napoleon Ave. that had tables and chairs like in the photo. But the walls, ceilings, floors, counters, etc., were all ceramic tile. After the last patron had left at night they’d come out with high-pressure, hot water hoses and wash everything in the place down top to bottom. There was absolutely no germs could survive in that place.
Hi Linda:
I can see that there many similarities between Texas and Panama. Whey you write about Texas and I write about Panama, there are many areas of common ground.
If you travel to Panama in the future, you would feel almost at home. Our lifestyle is very much like the one you have in the States. Even our legal currency is the U.S. dollars.
I would love to be your guide in Panama City. Come on down!
Regards,
Omar.-
