Still enjoying the 5 star accomidations

Yesterday Elaine took us on a two hour Kayak trip through the country's largest mangrove swamp. It was right out the back yard from the condo. We totally enjoyed the quiet paddle with Elaine knowing just when to leave so we caught the slack tide in and rode the tide back out. Lots of butterflies and birds.

Los Huevos

A lesson that is being repeatedly pounded into me while traveling:
plans are pointless. Last night was a perfect example. The plan: to
collect, move, and save turtle eggs from poachers and the various

The Purple House of Panama

Since our last blog, we've been in two further countries. Our last couple days in the Bahamas were made up of some more sun worshipping on our favourite beaches.

Stranded with 26 cents to my name!

Yep..I'm an idiot..I should zip up my valuables in my backpack...and I should separate my cards into different compartments. No..

All I can think is that my wallet fell out of my bag at one of the numerous muddy points that I got a bootie a...

Taxis and a Putobus

Lucia and I started off on what would become a most exciting and most taxing adventure to the Western part of Panama. Our first signed of fate not being on our side was that it took us nearly 30 minutes to get a taxi in a city rife with taxis. Our second and more obvious sign was when our bus suddenly stopped about 30 minutes out of Panama City....

Tapistry landscape and mounds of Chinese people

Ken and I thought itīd be cool to do a night dive in Bocas seeing as how we were too lazy to check out the beach and got up too late to actually do any real diving. We found the only PADI shop in town and signed up. Ken isnīt certified so we made up a whole complicated back story to how his certification card was stolen but he knew how to dive. ...
