Costa Rica to Panama

We write from Boquete, Panama on 2014-02-10: We are writing from Boquete, Panama.  We were here three and half years ago (or so), and it felt somewhat like a dream returning.  We crossed into Panama several days ago after what was the most frustrating border we have crossed, so far.  We felt like a bunch […]
