What happens in Panama stays in Panama... except for poisonous spider bites. Yeah, those come back with you. I'm proudly sporting a curious bright red bite on my leg – my battle scars from the hard times at the beach. A sunburn would be more manageable but so predictable. Where as a bona fide Central American spider chomp is way more hard core. Which makes me hard core. Yeah totally...
Here are a few snap shots from the trip. I have to say my Fieldguided cotton bag came in handy at the beach (with Keith Richard's bio in tote). The plantains were plentiful as were the tropical fruits – yes a banana in Panama actually tastes like a banana!
The coolest was meeting a Kunas fellow on the beach by our old pal General Noriega's dilapidated "villa". The Kunas are indigenous to Panama and famous for their colourfully adorned ankles and arms. I got a lovely beaded bracelet hand sewn to my wrist and I am wondering how I'll ever get it off! Details, details.
Happy 2011. My the new year be full of beachy treats and warm sunshine...
