Dont Kill The Cow Too Quick: An Ex-Pats Adventures Homesteading in Panama (Revised Edition)

Even though we decided against moving to Panama, I thoroughly enjoyed his insight. Thanks for the advice, the great conversation and the wine! Feb 03, Britt Vasarhelyi rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: I can't say enough good things about this book. Malcolm Henderson labels it "Travel," but you could also describe it as adventure, biography, and literature. That it's funny and sweet make it an endearing book, the kind you don't want to finish. I stretched it out as long as I could but finally gave in and read the final quarter last nite. The action in this book takes place in the Panama province of Bocas del Toro, literally "Mouth s of the Bull.

On a whim, they decide to go to Panama and that whim marks the beginning of a whole new world for the couple. Until then, Malcolm and Pat's life was dominated by Pat's public appearances, an activity that Malcolm calls one road show after another. Pat paints and exhibits her work. Malcolm runs the back of the house.

They were on the go constantly.

And they were ripe for a change. Twenty-four hours after arriving in Panama, Malcolm has bought a homestead on what is called "The Dark Lands. He also buys 25 acres of pristine rainforest. This book chronicles Malcolm and Pat's integration into the local Panamanian communities, of which there are several: It is also a tale of building a sustainable farm against great odds, with all the slips and falls along the way. But I particularly recommend it for mid-lifers who are trying to figure out what to do with the rest of their lives.

You may not wind up in Panama but reading this book will definitely give you some ideas of what can be done with those "golden years. I only review books that I can assign a 4 or 5 star to. I do this because I am also an author and I know how hard writers work to make their products enjoyable for readers. I don't want to discourage anyone who's had the fortitude and patience to write a book, nor do I want to praise them when I don't deem their book worthy.
