The tip of the Azuero peninsula is a place of raw beauty. The forest still reins supreme where it runs headlong into the unspoiled jagged coastline. The mountains that rise up behind the coast afford incredible views and cooler climates. While infrastructure in the way of restaurants, health facilities and stores are next to non-existent, the attractiveness of the area is indisputable. Throw a copper and gold strip mine into the equation and the areas appeal may change, just a bit!

Panama has always served as a safe haven of sorts. It is a financial bastion that seems to be more insulated to the volatile markets and unstable political situations of its neighbors to the north and south. There is no question that the world over is being affected by the tumultuous market downturns in the US, further exacerbated by the collapse of the pillar institutions, however Panama appears to be benefiting.

Things tend to happen in phases and Pedasi is no exception. I am optimistic that in the relatively near future the whole area between Pedasi and Playa Venao will see increased activity, but if your are a speculator (not that I encourage it any more) looking for a shorter term play, or a retiree wanting to live in an area where the expatriate community will grow the quickest then you have to have an understanding of what is currently transpiring behind the scenes in each respective neighborhood.

Pedasi Panama is a real world, real time example of the dichotomy of the clashing worlds of today. There is no question that progress is upon the sleepy little town, but a few of those heading the development charge represent a new breed of thought leading pioneers who uphold an entirely different paradigm in regard to development. There is a harmonious synergy between the old and new world in Pedasi.

There is a massive construction boom occurring in Pedasi. Massive is a relative term, but for a one horse town the amount of building activity is impressive. There are three new bed and breakfasts, and all of the retirees, investors, and individuals who have been renting for the past year waiting for the town to become a bit more developed are now starting to build their homes.

The frontiersmen have arrived in Pedasi in the form of the blue collar Canadians, retired Floridian contractors, eccentric Venezuelan artists, and riley US, Israeli, and European entrepreneurs. The expatriate community has really started to take shape in the one horse town.

We got out of the car at the base of a long stretch of rolling hills, atop from which were supposedly the most spectacular ocean views in the entire province. Tied up were a team of horses, and as if choosing a taxi driver, I petitioned for the quiet one...

Pedasi at first reminded me of a ghost town on Percocet. Streets of symmetrical little houses painted clementine-oranges and apple-greens, perfect little squares with fountains and beautiful flowers but all the while, not a person in sight. I came to two foregone conclusions when I saw all the town people and town dogs crammed into the pews of an open-air cathedral: either they were all there gathered to test drive the new 328i, or church was in session.

Driving through the countryside of Panama is adventurous and as an explorer of Panama I could ask for no more. It's wholesome. A simple drive from one destination to the next is bound to discover scenery, people, and animals that to me, at one point in my life, were reserved for independent films and the pages of National Geographic.
We left the small town of Tonosi, with a full ride. In the front sat Rebecca and I, and in the back, three full-grown farmers showing us directions to their properties up for sale. I don't have a whole lot in common with rural farmers, or middle-aged men for that matter, so topics like the disappointment of this season's Real World cast nor the clarity of Sony's new plasma TV were subjects that would get anywhere.
