We all had a very enjoyable time at a “Ladies Lunch” that Liz organized .
It all began as a way to commemorate the one year anniversary of the death of Elsie’s husband.
It evolved into a lunch for a small group of ex-pat and Panamanian women (including myself).
We were lucky that Puerto Armuelles newest restaurant, The Watering Hole, opened just the week before.
[UPDATE: The Watering Hole is no longer open. For other places to eat in Puerto Armuelles go here]
Just in time for Carnival – and for us.
Unfortunately, the gas line in their kitchen was being installed at the same time as our gathering.
This delayed service and the full menu was not available.
Regardless, it is great to have a new place to eat in Puerto Armuelles.
Amy, formerly a US Marine, owns and operates the restaurant.
Mauro is the chef. Mauro has a great energy and is an excellent cook. (Mauro is also Amy’s boyfriend.)
It was wonderful to have an excuse to gather and catch up with folks.
The weather was glorious.
The views of the beach were stellar.
The fisherman we could see fishing seemed to find it a profitable day as well.
Thank you Liz for making the event happen.
Puerto Armuelles is blessed by Liz’s kind-hearted energy and love of people.

I put together and organized the “Ladies Luncheon” and everyone had a wonderful time. I think we should do it at least once a month. However, the restaurant was not prepared and ready to open even though I previously given them a head count of how many would be attending. I was sadly disappointed. Everyone said their food was great but mine never came and then they brought me a fish dish which I don’t order and I don’t even like fish, so I sent it back. Finally they did bring me my correct order but it was as everyone… Read more »
