Lookwhatbobfound... Wow! You found El Silencio? The rusted roof across the street and to the right, from the elementary school is probably my place (facing NW)

You can find me at tripadvisor.com. My website is woefully out of date. I have to get that changed, but have a problem doing that because I now no longer have a way to get in there, password is a distant past memory.
Helen... My hotel is not in my village where my house is. The Hotelito del Mar is in the town of Bocas del Toro on Isla Colon, which is in the province of Bocas del Toro, as is the small city of Changuinola and the little town of El Silencio.
Here in El Silencio my power is imported from Costa Rica, and managed by Edesa, which is not managed very well. On the island, where the hotel is, the company that runs the power plant, diesel, is Union Fenosa. We have our own plant for the island, but not all the island is serviced, only the town itself some of the outlying areas, and a nearby island, careneros, and a small village on another island, Bastimentos. None of the other islands have access to company generator. Isla Colon is very large, the town only covers a small fraction of the island. On really big holidays, like new years eve, we often had power shutdowns. But recently Union Fenosa was sold to a Spanish company, and ever since then, we have had a lot more shut downs.
