Hello Christina,
I'm sorry that you haven't been able to make contact with your family. Send me an email at the address in the post with their numbers and I'll try to assist you. Land lines are working in Bocas Del Toro but cell phones are still acting up. Keep praying for us all.
Peace.

Elsbeth,
Thanks so much for sharing your experience. . I hope you are home now. Were you alone or were others with you? That must have been a really horrifying experience as I know how isolated that area is.
Thank God you made it!
Keep well.

I was stuck on the road between Chiriqui and David for two days in an abandoned house surrounded by landslides. I walked 5km of that road that were EXTREMELY damanged. It will be a miracle if that road is drivable in the next several months as it was nearly impossible to walk over the non-existing areas. A huge tragedy for many.
