After a few choppy conversations with some gracious locals, we finally figured out what our snail mail address is. As I mentioned in an earlier entry, the absence of street names and house numbers in and around Boquete has made the process of finding any address a bit challenging. You usually are given instruction in reference to land marks (e.g. big rock, broken red fence, etc). Given we live up in the hills above Boquete (Jaramillo Centro) along a "country road" we were wondering how in the world we'd actually get mail. (We are so urbanized, aka ignorant)
Turns out the street name and house number don't really matter because snail mail doesn't actually get dropped of at your house. It goes to the nearest post office where you have to visit every couple days to check and see if anything new has arrived. Duh! That makes absolute sense.
Since there is only one post office in all of Boquete (identified by the code, 0413), we actually have a pretty simple mailing address:
Paul, Linda, Sydney, Joshua Day
Boquete 0413
Chiriqui
Panama Republica Panama
BTW, Sydney and Josh love getting emails. If you get a second, drop them a line.
sydney.t.day@gmail.com
josh.d.day@gmail.com
