Bluff Beach Retreat Isla Colon

... about 15 minutes, they bailed out the boat, and off we went. This bar/restaurant is owned by a guy from Kansas named George. What a character he is. It was karoake night and Randy joined in. The whole crowd is so much fun and very welcoming. For dinner we order ceviche, wings, chile rellenos. Muy bueno! They had to finally throw everyone out of the place because George's wife, Jessica, wanted to go to dinner ...

... compensation...You see, what they obbligate us to do? ; ). But before the trip, that night, we went out to drink some beers: first, we went to the "locals" pub, where they were playing something called "Soka", what actually I liked so much. But the didn't dance, so we left and went to the "touristica" pubs, where also nobody was dancing (it was Sunday, jo!) but the atmosphere was nice, and people were speaking to us.

The day after, we made the trip to ...

... person instead of $20! Woot! We took a much needed nap before heading off back to Casco Viejo to see the sites. What a neat place! Very Havana-esque with crumbling buildings and narrow cobbled streets. Many impressive buildings (including the Teatro Nacional which was painted inside by Roberto Lewis, I thought that was interesting!) and so much history. We shopped a bit, I got myself a Panama hat, and we had some drinks at a small, sketchy pub. The evening was ...

Bocas town So i arrived by water taxi it was still raining meet a couple people and we started looking for a hostel, funny thing is after almost 2 months of traveling every couple min i got stoped by someone i had met earlier on in the trip who wanted to say hello. Once we had reached the hostel the people i had met on the taxi asked me how i know so many ...

... kisses my hand each day when I say buenos dias and adios to them. However, real or not, each visit I enjoy listening to Maria's stories, where she's come from, her San Blas Indian origins, and the tales of her imaginary children, I know just having someone to listen is enough. But some days she is aware of her real son and sits next to him holding his hand and introducing him to us every time we walk pass. Armed with a small Latin American Spanish Phrasebook (which was ...

... too... The large Caribbean woman behind the hospital desk nodded her head and told us unsmiling that if we wanted to, it would be good if we came back tomorrow. We agreed that we would definitely return in the morning. And beneath all the E.R. medical drama, there was a subtle spark, a twinkle in the eye, between Erin and the Hot Doctor, something that would be pursued by them both later on and that would eventually lead to our travel plans changing quite a bit.

... at Eclypse de Mar but we´ve been taking water taxis into town every day. Here, water taxis are crucial. They´re tiny wooden motor boats that take you from island to island. They even act like school buses - picking kids up from all the islands and taking them to the main town where the school is. In an area full of islands you literally "flag" a taxi over (you stand at the end of your dock , waving a white ...
