Traveling is dramatic. This is not because a traveler is constantly in the presence of wonder or in the act of accomplishing magnificent deeds. Quite the contrary. A traveler is surrounded by the ordinary and devoted to the accomplishment of the mundane. Transportation, food, and shelter are the...

Our trip to Panama was kind of a smash-and-grab affair: we took an overnight bus from Costa Rica to Panama City to see the canal, and then we took another overnight back up to the border, stopping in Bocas Del Toro to briefly indulge in the beaches of the Caribbean. Bocas Del Toro...

Good descriptions

So lovely to read about your trip. Sad hear San Jose is no better than when Ann Marie and I went several years ago. When Louis and I went back in the early 80's it was really a lovely city with no bars or barbed wire anywhere and it was pretty and extremely safe! Everyone had a good education and good medical care. I talked to several people when I was last there and they said the big change came with the immigration of all the refugees from the wars in El Salvador, Nicaragua and Guatemala. There just wasn't enough food, housing and jobs for all of them and they were so desperate, crime took over. So sad. - Judy

Hi, Brendan and Roz.... I have really enjoyed following your on your adventures. Now I am concerned about Roz.... is she feeling better? I had some bad times sick in Africa, but it was over quickly. I hope she is back to her energetic self. Glad you have a nice home stay... good luck on the Spanish class. Grandma
