Building permission acquired

Posted by Michael Roberts about 12 years ago

Planning permission has been acquired and quotes are being arranged

Went to Torio in September and saw the ANAM consultant, a nice guy that looked at the project and gave the go ahead to build. I didn't appreciate how much detail one needed to spend on the architects drawings and details until know.

Work will start I hope in December. There have been many changes in the are since I was there last time.Los Islotes have improved the road; a consortium is going to build a sort of CLubMed and there are two french guys building a restaurant.

Building should take upto a year. I have decided to make a ecoSpa and I am negotiating with a land owner if they can give me a piece of land to do my food flood forest concept. I gave a lot of tought to creating a fullfy sustainable water garden producing mainly asiatic food, bamboo, water chestnut, lotus root and lilies and water cress etc. I decided that a main crop I need for the rstaurnat would be palms heart.

I have bought the tibetan bowls and they sound great next year I will take an intensive course in Shiatsu and Qi Massage. That plus teh QiGong I leanrt before should help in the spa.

I met a "stray cat", a really lovely girl from Equator that accepted my sponsorship offer, she is learning english in Wall Street Institute and will be attending a Parisien Beautician school. I hope she will help me run the spa and the hotel. She is a wonderful person, joyful and extremely honest and kind. Time will tell if she comes to Panama. if she doesn't it doesn't matter I would have helped her out of her situation. I am happy to see that people like her still exist in the world. I will post a video later on.
