Wild Bill

And my contact at the OIHOTA, which is like the Costa Rican version of the FBI, called me and said, hey, man, they've issued a warrant for your arrest.

You got to get the fuck out of here.

So it was unfortunate I had to leave Costa Rica because of that.

Now, since that time, that has all been settled and arranged.

My participation in that crime was just as an advisor.

And so when those guys all went to jail, the arrest warrant expired on me because that's how that works there.

I never got charged.

So I had to leave.

So I went to Panama, which I had visited a couple of times, and I used to work at it.

But I never went to the Chiriqui province of Panama.

And everybody told me that that's where the gringos are.

That's where the Americans and the expats are going because they have everything.

They have the ocean.

They have the mountains.

It's supposed to be the best place.

And also, I went there because I didn't know anybody.

I thought it would be a good place to start over.

So I went.

And I rented a small house and began to look around.

Now there's an expat city, a city of just foreigners.
