Who? Timothy Where? Guabito, Panama (and Sixaola, Costa Rica) One of the few border crossings with Costa Rica, this one located on the Caribbean side, in the Bocas Del Toro province. Believe it or not, countless fully loaded 18 wheel tractor trailers cross this bridge daily.
Who? Jimmy Where? Isla Grande A fisherman and his primary transportation are seen cutting across the clear water in front of the Black Christ (Christo Negro) statue located just offshore of Isla Grande on the Caribbean side of Panama.
Who? Jeff Lane Where? Panama’s Caribbean coast is far less developed and less populated than its Pacific coast, but it is just as vibrant culturally, more so in the minds of some. Among other groups, our Afro-Caribbean citizens are particularly active here and the artwork above is evidence of their influence. The photo was taken in the charming village of Portobelo, east of Colon city.
Who? Jeff Lane Where? It’s not all sunshine in Panama. And it’s not always a brilliantly colorful sunset. But it can still be very beautiful. In this photo, a boater heads home at day’s end among the islands of Bocas del Toro in northwest Panama on the Caribbean coast.
Who? Jeff Lane Where? In Bocas del Toro in the far northwest corner of Panama, an RW member makes friends with one of Panama’s most popular residents. Although not all of Panama’s wildlife is quite so tame as this new friend, they are a joy to meet, even if only as an “acquaintance” from a distance.
Photographer: Charlene Where? It’s not the Olympics in China. It’s the island of Cameros in the province of Bocas del Toro in northwest Panama, but the enthusiasm is just as great, even if they come up short on “style points”. Charlene said she took a whole series of photos because “their delight in this activity was incredibly contagious”.
Who? Sieg Pedde Where? In case you can’t read the small print, “Happy Hour” at the Buena Vista Bar & Grill in Bocas del Toro offers a beer for 75 cents, a rum and coke for a dollar, and a marguerita for $2.75…and those aren’t the cheapest prices in Panama where a beer can be as little as 35 cents. We call almost everything outside Panama City “the Interior” and that’s where you go for the best prices on food and drink. That makes it at least twice as happy as visiting a city bar and grill!
Photographer: Chuck Logan Where? Like Florida’s Key West in years gone by, the islands of Panama’s Bocas del Toro region are noted for their beauty, their relative isolation, and the ‘pioneer spirit’ of those who settle there. This is how most folks first see Bocas, by airplane. Isla Carenero (Carenero means “a place to repair boats”) is in the foreground and Isla Colon (Colon is Spanish for a famous early visitor, Columbus) lies just behind it and includes the regional capital, Bocas town, partially visible in the photo.
