when I was a kid, way back in the late 60s I lived in Panama for 3 years. Dad was in the Army and assigned to teach at the School of the Americas when it was located there. Fun time...even considered moving there instead of Spain, but its a bit to humid for my tastes. The Valencian climate is very very similar to that in San Diego, where I'd been living since the mid-70s, except for a few years in the 80s.

Hope you are loving it there!
