Bocas del Toro

If it is Thrusday (i think it is thursday), this must be Panama. I walked across the border from Costa Rica to Panama today. No questions at customs. I am not sure there was customs. There are booths on both sides of the border for passport stamping but that is all.

After a quick taxi ride through banana plantations and a 45 minute water taxi, I arrived at Bocas del Toro. I think I will spend the next few days, including the start of carnaval, here. It is supposed to be a great party. I will let you know how it turns out.

I hope you enjoy your own carnival.

I have to admit, I am a bit jealous at this moment. I am looking out my window at snow and rain mixture.It's barely 30 degrees. Take me away, Panama!
