BOCAS DEL TORO

In 1996, a group of guys and I visited Bocas del Toro, Republica de Panama. We had a great adventure traveling the length of Panama in a taxi driven by a guy that had never been out of Panama City! His ineptitude and our dependence on him landed us in the very place that we didn't want to get delayed. Chiriqui Grande. It is a town filled with sleazy streets and thievery is commonplace. We managed to get to Bocas del Toro via a high-speed boat. There we enjoyed great food, friendly people, hung out with an expatriated American that owned a bar, went diving over coral reefs, traveled by banana train to cities in the west, sailed to uninhabited islands where we ate island rats prepared by a man that lived on an island with no facilities or utilities. The whole experience was incredible. Check out Bocas del Toro for more information.
