Mexico!

Jul 2, 2007 | Mexico

At last we are in Mexico! In Tulum we got our first glimpse of the Yucatan’s Caribbean coast and we were blown away. The sand is whiter and the water brighter blue than we have seen. Our Experience here, however, was quite bitter sweet. The long strip of...

40 Years Later

Jun 5, 2007 | Panama

We experienced some annoying set backs over these last couple of weeks because Brendan and I both suffered bouts of illness. So we have spent way too much time laying around and not nearly enough time exploring. However, by some miracle if you ask me, Brendan´s dad...

Campesinos Locos

May 22, 2007 | Miscellaneous

“Campesinos locos, matando la selva”. Crazy farmers, killing the forest. That’s what Edgar, our guide would say when we passed another place where the indiginous Ngobe Buglé had slashed and burned a section along the road from Santa Fe to the...

Santa Fe

We took a bus ride over the entire width of Panama from the Pacific to the Caribbean coast in a total of four hours! The ride was up and over lush, barely touched mountains. Isla Colon, the largest of the many islitas of Bocas Del Toro overwhelmed us with the amount...

Cerro Punta

Apr 30, 2007 | Panama

We’re very excited about the guesthouse posibilities here in Panama. From what we have seen so far the people are refreshingly freindly and open. We have talked to several expats living here and they say that they are comfortable in the community. That is...

Parque Corcovado

Apr 26, 2007 | Panama

We’re writing from Panama, where we arrived yesterday after breezing through Costa Rica with a quick stop in Parque Corcovado for some jungle trekking. In La Palma, one of the launch towns for treks in Parque Corcovado, we met Thomas and Tau, two friendly Danes....

Little Corn

Apr 18, 2007 | Miscellaneous

The panga ride to Little Corn was smooth sailing over pristine blue-green water. We couldn’t believe the tiny spot of paradise as we jumped off the boat onto the white sand. No cars, motorbikes, engines, only sounds of water lapping onto the shore and chattering...

Soon Reach

Apr 12, 2007 | Nicaragua

You can get from Managua to Little Corn Island in a night and a day’s time by bus and boat, theoretically. Most people choose to take the hour and a half flight. We figured we would go the local route, enjoy the journey. It took us three days and two nights. Our...

A quick look at Granada

Sunset over the cathedral. The main street leading to the market. The market at sunrise. Early bird catches the worm. He was the first one to have his booth setup.
