Alejandro Hess is back in the studio for his monthly visit to talk to us about his latest edition of the Panama Good Times. Fifty Six pages this month packed with information on places like Boca Chica in Chiriqui and the Perlas Islands. We also chat about his four or five day excursions around the country to garner his information.
It is Tuesday that means Yoly de Sedas is with me, trying to keep us on a healthy diet. Not so easy for some people though that suffer from food allergies like seafood, crustaceans and nuts. Always check in restaurants about not just about the content but your food may have been prepared using peanut oil for instance. Once caller advised that in cheap coffee it has been known to add ground peanuts and corn .
