Two Expats Survive Brutal Attack Near Playa Blanca
(Panama-Guide ) By DON WINNER for Panama-Guide.com - Mike and his wife Olga had been staying at the hotel in Coronado, but they decided to check out on Saturday, 31 October 2009, and to move down the road to the all inclusive hotel at Playa Blanca, because they were celebrating their wedding anniversary. Mike and his wife have been coming to Panama for years and they obtained their pensionado residency status, so they are not "fresh off of the plane" Panama rookies, and they've been around awhile. I had met Mike once before years ago at a restaurant in El Cangrejo, and this second time we spoke it was as he was coming out of the bathroom in the Santo Tomas hospital.
