Trip to Panama, Part 1

 Spring means its time for my more or less annual trip to the San Blas Islands off Panama to purchase molas.  The lodge where I stayed had a gorgeous (spoiled) pet parrot. 

 Garbage on the next lot which was part of the view from the lodge balcony (as well as the ocean)

 A young boy fishing (actually bailing  at the moment) from a boat near the lodge

 A typical dugout canoe

 A house had burned down here and not been replaced leaving an open area

 Allmost every island has a school where the children learn in Spanish.  Many of the older people don't speak it.

 This is what you get for $90 a night.  That's tape on the floor between the boards.

 The toilets and cold shower are downstairs.
