Visit to Volcan
Thursday, 09. August 2007 by Sharon Brown
I headed to Volcan yesterday and spent the night. The drive was very easy from here to the edge of David, and then onto Volcan. The drive is so beautiful...so beautiful. At different times throughout the drive I felt as though I were in the mid-western part of the U.S., or in a tropical jungle area, or what I imagine Sweden or Switzerland to look like. It was so lovely to see the beautiful pastures....farmers tending to their property and animals...the horse families running and walking on the rolling, mountainous land, the misty clouds rolling by.... I was trying to soak it all in....and trying to imagine what my family might think of the drive.
I met some wonderful people in Volcan. They were so helpful in trying to connect me with the right people that may have some rental homes, and told me about the area and the community there. Volcan is much more rural, and the town is much more spread out than Boquete. I went to the 6:00pm Mass last night, and met some very sweet people, then went to eat at a wonderful Greek restaurant! If you’re ever in Volan, definitely stop there to enjoy a very good meal there. The owner was very kind and knowledgeable about the area, and it was so nice visiting with him.
After only spending one day in Volcan, I decided, and just felt that for now, it was not the place for our family. I feel that there is more of a community feel in Boquete, and being closer to the city of David is a plus as well. Volcan is a beautiful town and may cost less to live there for now, but overall.....for this move....I am choosing Boquete for our family.
I am looking at more rental homes today and trying to connect with the other real estate agent I have been working with to show me some others. It has been a bit of a challenge to coordinate seeing homes here in Boquete. It just requires a little patience, which I have had the pleasure of working on while I’m here.
Great job Sharon! It is interesting to hear all you are doing - and seems like you are doing a really good job figuring it out!

Thank you Ron for your encouragement! It is very strange to be here without my family. I’m praying that I find a home that is just right for us.
Hi Sharon,
Wow, how neat of you to share this experience. My husband, three children (6, 5, and 2) and I are considering a move to Panama as well. I noticed that you attend Mass… are you a Catholic? (We’re a Catholic family and would love to live in a stronger Catholic culture.) How old are your kids?
Anyway, I’ll be reading your blog until the day (hopefully) we are neighbors in Boquete.
God bless and keep writing!

Hello Melanie,
Thank you so much for your comments! They really encouraged me. Yes, we are Catholic and have (3) children total. My step-daughter is 21, our son is 13, and our youngest daughter is 5. We also enjoy being around a strong Catholic culture. The church here in town seems very good, and I am planning on going to the English Mass tomorrow. I’m hoping to meet some English speaking Catholics there and make some contacts.
We are very excited about our move to Boquete, Panama. It would be so great to have you and your family also move here, and to get to know each other.
We finally found a home to rent month-to-month, until we find a long-term rental home.
Right now it is raining outside, and the smell of some beautiful flower is in the air. A few little birds keep walking by my cabin door to see what I am doing. It is so nice to be here....but, I am very lonely for my husband and kids. It will be good to get home to pack and prepare for the move to Panama in a few weeks.
I look forward to your next blog and hope we can become good friends!
God Bless You and your family,
Sharon
A plus for Volcan is the Church there. Padre Juan is part of a very committed team that promotes lay leadership and formation (the center is called Hector Gallego) in honor of the priest from Santa Fe, Veraguas who was killed in the late sixties under the Torrijos regime.
For what its worth…
