		<description><![CDATA[While visiting the <em>Iglesia de San Jose in Casco Viejo</em> in Panama City, three big men approached me and told me they wanted to steal the famous Golden Altar. This ancient treasure was originally housed in a church in Old Panama that was built in 1519. But since the place was hard to defend from marauders who wanted to steal this priceless artifact, the Golden Altar was moved to its present location in San Felipe in the 16th century.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m not a very religious man. In fact, I’ve probably done a lot of things that religious men haven’t. But whenever I get the chance to go to church, my first stop would always be the <a href="http://cascoviejo.com/iglesia-san-jose/">Iglesia de San Jose</a> (read the Church of San Jose) in <a href="http://www.panamaface.com/en/locality/locality_detail.php?idLocality=45">Casco Viejo</a> in <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g294480-d317494-r110125822-The_Old_City_Casco_Viejo-Panama_City.html#REVIEWS">Panama City</a>.]]></description>

We had run into a giant beast that looked like it had escaped from the depths of hell. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By now we were all in a state of shock. The appearance of the strange creature at Boca Brava caught us off guard. Its ugliness was the stuff of nightmares and we weren’t prepared for this horrible encounter. We had gone there to make a movie and never in our wildest dreams did we expect to find hell itself as personified by this insane abomination. It was as if the creature suddenly materialized from the pages of an H.P. Lovecraft novel. But there was one difference: Lovecraft wrote weird fiction; this monster was real -  all too real - and its appearance sent us into a maelstrom of unparalleled fear and frenzy.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The blond Hollywood celebrity was beside herself trembling while the ground begun to shake.  As tough as she wanted people to see her, she can be so fragile.  A fine mist fell inexplicably over the entire resort as the smell of saltwater entered my nostrils.  This would naturally calm me, but given the circumstances, it only made me want to rush my companions to safety.  I felt a presence in the beach and somehow, it was biding its time.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["What fresh hell did you put us all in?" screamed hot shot director Wally as he paced back and forth on the lobby.  "We look like we're in an episode of Lost." His hands fidgeted like he was suffering from Parkinson's disease.  Something is seriously wrong with this guy. Wally was a ticking time bomb and I don't want to be here when this moron detonates.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had finally shepherded the film production crew who had hired me for a trip to Panama.  One more boat ride and we would have reached our island destination:  Boca Brava.  After a few minutes negotiating with captains of speed boats in Boca Chica in Chiriqui, I finally made the connection to the island.  Two aluminum catamarans were to carry us to Paradise Hotel -- the only available accommodations in the Conservation Park.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let me start at the beginning.  Someone from a Hollywood production company had been reading the blog religiously.  She introduced herself as Jane (not her real name) and she was managing a small independent movie that was ready for lensing.  She had been so keen to research about Panama that she stumbled onto my blog.  Jane must have liked what we've been putting out that she searched me in Facebook and inquired about going to Panama. Not really for her to visit on vacation but as a possibility to scout locations for a movie their production outfit had been developing.]]></description>
