TIPS and TIDBITS Egg specially Interesting Have you ever wondered why the eggs in Panama are not kept in the refrigerator and if they are safe to eat If you shop in other foreign countries you might encounter the same eggs in the open air and on a shelf next to the fruits and vegetables The reason may surprise you It is linked to the way eggs are farmed and processed In the United States and a few other countries it is required eggs are washed and sprayed with a chemical sanitizer before they are sold to the public Washing removes the first line of the defense that is naturally on the eggs making them more porous Eggs are washed and refrigerated to reduce the risk of salmonella infection In Latin America and many other countries there is no washing step removing the natural protective coating The eggs are cleaned while dry transported and stored at room temperature In Panama each individual egg is marked with a date stamp day month year It is best to break them separately into a bowl before adding to your recipe Crisper Lettuce With so many fresh vegetables available in Panama delicious salads are easy to make To keep it fresh put your lettuce into a nice big bowl and put a paper towel or two over the top so moisture doesn t settle on the leaves Cover the whole thing with a really tight seal and store Loyalty Cards at Local Stores Do you have a loyalty card for the local grocery and hardware stores Do you know the points you accumulate expire The vendor rules are all different check with each store to understand their procedure Tipping at Checkout Lines The question always arises what to do about the folks packing your bags when you checkout at the grocery stores Do you tip not tip only when they take it to your car The people packing your bags at the grocery stores are not on the payroll They earn what people tip Many of them are making money during their vacations or after school Whether to tip propina in Spanish and how much is always up to the individual

What causes a tide Living and playing on the beach means being aware of the tides for walking swimming surfing paddle boarding and all the fun things to do in the ocean Depending on the day and time of year the tide range on the Pacific Coast can be over 21 feet The height of the tides vary during the course of a month because the Moon is not always the same distance from the Earth Tides are caused by the gravitational interaction between the Earth and the Moon They occur twice a day two high waters and two low waters and not at the same time each day The gravitational attraction of the moon causes the oceans to bulge out in the direction of the moon The time changes because the Moon takes about 24 hours and 50 minutes to line up with exactly the same point of the Earth causing the timing of high tide to change throughout the month Tide Disclaimer The tides are estimates based on the nearest port Balboa Panama and may differ significantly depending on the distance www tablademarea com Do not use this tide chart as a basis for any decisions that could result in harm to people other organisms or property Check these predictions against officially sanctioned tables Do not rely on these predictions if you need guaranteed results Remember weather conditions affect tidal ranges and current speeds sometimes very strongly RIPTIDES The Panama Riviera has been known for having dangerous riptides Each year a number of people get caught up in a riptide and die swimming in Panama s oceans A riptide is a strong channel of water moving out to sea usually through the surf line at speeds of up to eight feet per second Riptides are identified by A channel of churning choppy water with a line of sea foam or debris moving steadily out to sea A break in the incoming wave pattern Different colored water beyond the surf zone Escaping a Riptide You cannot swim out of a riptide Do not panic remain calm will help con serve energy Do not swim towards the shore swim parallel until you escape the riptide Use landmarks to determine when you are away from the riptide Breaking waves will move toward shore If you see someone in trouble in the water PLAY IT SAFE ASK FOR HELP Avoid swimming alone Follow the lifeguard recommendations Keep Emergency Numbers on hand National Police 104 Firefighters 103 SINAPROC 335 For Emergency 316 0080 316 1287
