Ever-changing plans

Taxis and a Putobus

Long Day's Ride Across Panama to Boquete
We left Panama City at 9:45am to take a bus 7 hours to the town of David (which, I still could hear Panamanians say all day long--I love the way the 'v' is swallowed into the word so thoroughly that it comes across sounding like 'dahbeed'). On our bus ...

What I live for
Moving from place to place is what moves me... A $3 taxi ride to the Albrook bus terminal, and $15.25 for a coach bus from Panama City to David, 5 cents to pass through a turnstile, a 7 hour bus ride, another ride on a mini bus for 1h15 min, and a 15 ...
Sometimes goodbye is the hardest part
Reluctantly, I left Lost and Fount Hostel after one of the most amazing times I have spent anywhere in the world. The hostel itself is the most unique that I've ever stayed in, and although it was its location in the mountains and the hiking ...

A Place to Hang my Panama Hat
I'm in David, Panama. It's about as interesting as the name sounds... on the plus side however, I ate something today. It was the best hotdog and fries ever. So yesterday got even better. After writing my last post I went back to my hotel room to ...
Panama ah oh ahh ohh ohh!
