I lived in San Carlos for 2 years. The Panamanian house I rented was right on the Parque. You missed the Hospital, the Bomberos, the Vegetable and Fruit compound right near the Bank. The hardware store, a couple of restaurants. People all say Buenos Dias in passing, the beach is lovely, I loved walking to buy food, it is very inexpensive. I loved living there, except during Fiestas when the Parque is filled with partiers. I only met 3-4 Expats there...which made learning Spanish much faster.
I grew up in Panama in the 1960's, and Rio Mar was my family's favorite beach. Yours is not the only video that focuses on "Vista Mar." Rio Mar, back in the day, was something of an oasis, an off the beaten path destination. My hope is that, since Panama retirement youtubers don't seem to film there, it retains some of its rusticness. I actually should be in Panama as I am typing this, but was deterred by the current civil unrest. So, I am taking my vacation vicariously! thanks!
I find those places like Coronado is good for a soft landing or for holiday / vacations but to live I prefer a mixture of expats and locals with the lean being towards more locals.
Great video, but would be much better if you could be heard. It sounds like you are both trying to use the same mic, which is impossible. The clip on mics aren't that expensive. We would love to hear what you are saying. Keep the great videos coming.
We just attached a phone to the front window for that video. It was awhile ago. We've since bought a few wireless clip on mics that solve that problem. Thanks for watching though.
You’re a natural when it comes to this video stuff. I wish you the best of luck with your channel.
Thanks Amanda.

Wish we saw it. I understand about the not wanting others to know about your oasis. That strikes us sometimes about places too.

Great way to put that whole process with the 'soft landing' and all. I'm sort of like you. I really like being around locals.
Hola Amigos! Another great informational video. Muy bueno.👍
I tried to follow on Google Earth with some success. I like your inserts.
Great. Thanks for watching.
Love the plazas! Dear you, go ahead and read the signs.
I’m not sure what you mean but thanks for your comment. 😁

Liked the video solely for the Boyz II Men reference haha love it!
Just trying to have some fun. Thanks for catching it.
After the church if you kept veering to the right you were about 3 blocks from the beach.
Darn. Wish we had known that.
Nice video.😊
How much would it cost to rent in this area. We would love this. 😊
I didn't look closely. I thought this was a tour through San Carlos, Philippines. That's fine. I like Panama too.
Oh interesting! Does it look similar?
@@laptopseniors I don't know if both cities look similar. I doubt it. I'll have to make the comparison when I get the time.
😂😂Husband and wife driving video is always a no no…I can feel the tension on some parts of this tour 😂😂
Can you tell me about a good affordable health insurance? thanks
I noticed no street sign or name
3:53 is that a Canadian flag on the left?
Wow, you are observant! It is a Canadian flag, along with a Panama and US flag. That's a hotel there.
NO STREET LIGHTS AND NAME.
23:35 You guys are terrible drivers good at being retired. Stay retired, quit driving hire a driver.
