DINE
EJ // For the whole first month there, we had the best breakfast at the place we stayed. It was something different every day some kind of potatoes n eggs, or a dinosaur egg thing... sometimes even a sweet type of dish. We stayed with a super nice lady, Marcella. For dinner almost every night we’ d go to this super local spot and eat fried chicken and rice or noodles for $ 4.25. We literally went there every night, it was so good. And for groceries, we shopped a lot just to keep it kind of cheaper. Still ate super local though. We made chicken and rice for dinner everyday and egg sandwiches in the mornings.
Nick // I mean we were always stocked on groceries. I mean we always had eggs and bread and then whatever anyone wanted to eat for breakfast. We were on an eggs and toast rampage. Then after three weeks everyone got sick of it. Literally people were throwing up... I don’ t think I cooked the eggs all the way. PBnJ for lunch or salads and then the standard chicken and rice for dinner. Or I usually went out for dinner becasue the food was cheap and the house was too packed to cook for yourself.
DRINK
EJ // Panama has a couple local beers that were tasty. Panama Lager and Barbacoa, all the other beers were more expensive and out of my price range haha.
Nick // So to drink, they had like canned rum and cokes that can kinda get you started. And they get you pretty drunk but I dunno they’ re kind of gross. My favorite drink was probably Balboa, which was a local beer. And they’ re a dollar too, its funny because it’ s like“ one Balboa for one Balboa.” Always nice to have a beer at sunser or like in the morning before a surf sesh. Or you can just go to any grocery store and snag a six and you’ re bascially good for the night.
