Panama, more than just a canal

Panama, more than just a canal

     My most recent trip in Panama was one of the memorable trips I have ever taken. We started with a well planned city tour on Sunday, first stop, the Miraflores Locks on the Panama Canal. We watched ships pass through the locks from the roof deck, had a chance to view a movie on the construction of both the old and new canal projects and spent some time in the new museum. After passing by the old military zone, now the ‘City of Knowledge’, we went to the Amador and an island owned by the Smithsonian. There you can learn all about Panama; how the land was formed, animals past and present, the American military presence, the flora, and all while enjoying the ocean views and maybe even spot a sloth in the trees. After a delicious and fresh seafood meal for lunch with the best view of the city skyline, we went to Casco Viejo. Beautiful cathedrals, colonial buildings, and cobblestone streets make this a perfect place to stroll away the rest of the day. Be sure to try flavored shaved ice in Plaza de Francia and seafood lovers won’t want to miss the famous fish market.

     After a short flight Monday morning, we were in a different world, the Comarca de Kuna Yala! There are 365 islands (covered in coconut trees and many uninhabited) that make up the Archipielago de San Blas. The Kuna Indians govern the region with little interference from the national government and even used coconuts as currency until the late 1990’s. We spent two days soaking up the culture while mingling with the Kuna, shopping for their famous molas and watching the traditional dance. We also soaked up the sun on the white sand beaches and while snorkeling in the turquoise Caribbean ocean.

     Back to the city to hop on our transport for the rest of the trip, we crossed the Bridge of the Americas on our way to El Valle. After about 2 hours, we were amazed at the change of scenery and climate. Located at about 3000ft, in the crater of one of the largest, extinct volcano’s, El Valle’s cool climate is great for hiking, spotting wildlife, and shopping for handicrafts. There is also a ‘mud bath’, square-trunked tree, and local zoo where you can see some colorful frogs and other exotic animals.

     The Pacific beaches of Panama are another one of the many reasons to visit this wonderful country. Surfing some of the best waves in Central America, scuba diving in the national park compared to the Galapogos, or relaxing by a camp fire on the beach while listening to the sea and counting stars… our guide knew all the best spots!

     I think the parts of Panama that surprised me the most were the mountains. We drove higher and higher into the bread basket of the country with farms clinging to these hills up to an elevation above 8000ft. The lodge we used had wonderful spa treatments, the freshest food, great view of Panama’s tallest mountain (Volcan Baru) and included a hike in the cloud forest. One day we hiked the famous Quetzal trail to Boquete and even were lucky enough to spot one of these elusive, emerald green quetzal birds. Boquete is a little lower and is well known for its flowers and coffee plantations but also has zip lines, white water rafting and rock climbing for the more adventurous.

    Before crossing the continental divide, we stopped at some nice little hot springs and cooled off in the Chiriqui River. The views were amazing as we approached Bocas Del Toro. This is a perfect place to wind up the tour. We visited another national park, sailed with dolphins, snorkeled by the mangroves and enjoyed the Caribbean nightlife. Unfortunately, we also had to catch our flight back to Panama City and no one wanted to leave.

     Our guide left the island the night before so he was there when we landed. We had plenty of time to test our siesta skills and freshen up before our last night’s dinner. The guide knew the perfect place with exceptional views of the skyline at night. Seeing that our flight wasn’t until late the next day, we decided to test out the cities legendary nightlife… we were not disappointed!

    It is easy to see why Panama is becoming such a popular place to travel. Safe and inexpensive, friendly people and beautiful places, adventure and wildlife, culture and history all make this a place that everyone will enjoy. Thanks to Kevin, our guide with Panama Breezes (www.barefootpanama.com) we had a most memorable vacation and will talk about it for years to come.

Europe - A Recap

From: traveljunkiejess
Description:

So I have been meaning to post a recap of my Europe trip pretty much since I got back. Partly because everyone who knows that we went ask me "So how was your trip to Europe" and I am sick of my lame response of "Good" and secondly because I love coming on here and reading my previous blogs because it always brings me back to that time or event in which I wrote about. A 21st century diary or sorts...... without all the angst...... ok maybe some.

Anywhoo this is not for the skittish reader as it is lengthy.

London – Jaron and I were so jet legged from flying over and not sleeping the night before so when we got in around 10am (4hours later then what we should have) that we just passed out until around 5pm. We then walked around and went to a pub and had a very English dinner and drinks and then took in some of London ’s McDonald’s deserts. FYI: They do not mix their McFlurries and they put things like chocolate covered rice crispies in them. Good - but different. The next day we then met our group and were able to just take in some sight seeing. The weather was really nice, no snow at all and probably around 60+ degrees so we got lunch and ate in the park. We then went to the London equivalent of Times Square and had dinner at this crazy Russian place. The restaurant made me feel like we fell through the rabbit’s hole in Alice in Wonderland. That is the only way that I can really explain the décor and feeling. We saw Buckingham Palace (however no Prince William or Prince Harry) and Big Ben at night and started adding to our list of foreign public transportation services that we have now endured.

Amsterdam – was all that anyone ever thinks Amsterdam is and more. We went to coffee shops, the red light district, the blue light district (that is where the trannies reside) a sex show (saw a girl smoke a cigar with here whoo ha…. No joke), the Anne Frank Museum – which is her house/annex where they were hiding (so amazing and emotional), saw the original Starry Night (my all time favorite painter is Van Gogh so of course I went to the official Van Gogh museum I also found out that technically his name is pronounced Van GOFF not Van GO), we also took in the Heineken museum and proceeded to get buzzed fairly early in the day, before 11am from the free beer that we got, we also went to a clog shop in the country and cruised the canals through the city. I love Amsterdam and want to live there. There is so much more to talk about here but some things are better left for one on one conversation ;)

Berlin – History galore!!! Saw the Berlin Wall or at least what is still left around. Took a walking tour of the city and saw major Nazi area’s including where Hitler killed himself. There were some great memorials for the Jews of the war and it was very moving. Germans consider their history to be their dark shadow……. They can never escape it, it will always follow them but they can strive to make the future better. We also saw the first concentration camp which was very surreal. It is crazy to think that so much suffering went on and the horrible conditions that they must have been under. Ugh!

Prague – Beautiful city. It was so colorful. All the buildings are different pastel colors and very ornate and it has been kept up so well that it all looks new. We went to a Salvador Dali exhibit as well as an Andy Warhol exhibit which was really cool. Took a lunch cruise through the city and scoured the markets for trinkets. We then went to this restaurant that had a beer tap in the middle of the table. You then could feel up your glass and drink as much as you wanted. There was a big TV that was keeping score of every table and you were in competition with everyone. I got a really good buzz from that place and never had to pee so much. However we were nothing compared to the Aussie tables. They can put them down.

Munich – Very fun and cool city. We took a tour through the city on cruiser bikes. I loved the bike so much that I got a cruiser for my birthday this year. I was the “butt babe” which pretty much meant that I stayed towards the end of the group and made sure that no one lagged behind. We went to the biggest beer hall in the world and had many of beers. We also went to an original beer hall where families still have their own tables and thousands of people can fit in. Munich goes crazy for Oktoberfest! I had a pickled pork knuckle and an awesome lemonade beer as well as had my first try of ‘snuff’ which is a tobacco that you sniff up your nose. It is awesome.

On the way to Venice we stopped in Tyrol and went to the original Swarovski Crystal shop. They had a whole room completely covered in crystals – Winter Wonderland and it was very surreal.

Italy –

***** Now quickly there are a few things that no one knows about Italy until you go there and it is pretty nuts. Firstly, they don’t give a fuck!!! They know that people will come to Italy even if everyone tells them that it sucks because, hey… it is Italy . They are very rude, they do not use salt in their bread so it is like eating cardboard, it is very expensive, theft is crazy over there so you must be on guard at all times, they charge an exhorbinent amount to use the toilet – However this is not just an Italy thing. In Europe most countries will charge you to pee however it is never very much and the money goes to keeping the facilities clean and nice however that rule does not apply to Italy . (I think I paid one time around the equivalent of $2 American dollars to pee in a very dirty bathroom and they do not have toilet seats, it is just the bowl. It was truly frightening) Also they have hidden dining fees. Firstly they charge you for utensils. They also charge you to sit outside as well as a service fee of usually around 15%. Also they do not tell you this and they will try and hide that unless you come straight out and ask “Do you have a service fee??” And by service fee I do not mean the tip. I mean your food, utensils, service fee, then tip!! These were things that we had no idea about however now stating that I don’t want you to get the wrong idea about my feelings on Italy . I absolutely loved Italy and think that everyone should go and see the massive history there. It is just nice to know what you are in for. It is very exhausting, a definite culture shock for sure. ***********

Venice – Everything that you think of when you think of Venice is true. It is fucking gorgeous and like a dream. The weather was amazing when we went, I couldn’t ask for a more beautiful day. You can walk the whole island in like 20 minutes and we circled it many times. We went to a lace school and purchased a Venetian table cloth and napkins for my mom and saw a glass blower work and make a beautiful piece of art. We then did the cliché canal ride which was beyond compare. It was so much fun and you could bring whatever you wanted on the gondola with you so we bought an original bottle of Bellini (the peach drink that is now sold at Olive Garden was invented in Venice by a man named….. you guessed it something Bellini!!) and took that with us to drink. The city is so gorgeous that it almost looks fake. I ate gelato pretty much three times a day when I was in Italy and had to have pizza!! We did a lot of people watching and just meandering around the city. We then had an amazing Venice dinner that consisted of many different courses of pasta and seafood and salad and a lot of wine.

Rome – Oh Geez!! So much and there can never really be enough time! We started with a huge tour around the city taking in the Spanish Steps and the Piazza Venezia. I drank out of the Trevi Fountain – which was delicious and said to bring you fertility!! We then went into a crypt that a priest had made hundreds of years ago out of deceased priests body parts. It was very eerie. Every piece of bone was used to make very beautiful and hauntingly creepy mosaics that lined everything from the walls, ceilings, floors, everything. There was not a bare wall in the place. We then went into the Pantheon and saw first hand the amazing architectural abilities of the Romans. We took in so many churches and shrines in Europe and in Italy in general that it is hard to keep them all straight. We checked out the Colosseum at night and walked the first ever street made in the world. Also popped in on the Pope (well not really he was traveling at the time) in Vatican City at night and ate outside on the side streets of Rome . In the morning we got a private guided tour inside ‘Old Rome’ and inside of the Colossuem. Old Rome is like 10 feet below the street level of New Rome because they just believe on building on top of the city. That is why the subway for Italy only runs around the city because anywhere they go to dig in the center of the city they are just going to end up excavating the previous Rome . Then we actually went to the Vatican and walked through the city as well as the church where the Pope presides, saw the tombs of all the old Popes. saw St. Peters Basilica, and saw the Sistine Chapel!! Also we visited the “Mouth of Truth” that is in Roman Holiday. You are supposed to put your hand in and think of something. If it is a lie it is supposed to bite your hand off. I still have my hand so all is well, however our feet hurt so bad from walking the city to try and see everything that it felt like they had been bit. I am sure I am forgetting something really momentous but oh well.

On our way to Florence we stopped in Pisa . Nothing really in Pisa except that one leaning tower!! So of course we acted like stupid American tourist and did the obligatory pictures such as the holding the tower up, leaning against the tower, heaving the tower on your back and some people even did the leaning tower of penis. Propping it just so to where it looks very impressive. I tried to get Jaron to do it but he wouldn’t. I also purchased a very cute purple bogus Prada purse from some African/Italian counterfeit gangsters. I was able to get them down a lot too, they wanted 50 Euros and I got them down to 20 Euros! But by doing the simple act of purchasing I was then mobbed by about another 20 or so selling various shit.

Florence – Here was the only time that it rained on our trip. And it wasn’t just a little rain. It was a lot of rain. It soaked through my waterproof Columbia jacket and proceed to get everyone as wet as possible. Again we turned to gypsies for needed umbrellas and went along with our day. This also happened to be the day of our mandatory group picture that was outside. We were all soaked. We did however check out a Florence leather company ( Florence is now for its amazing leather) to try and stay dry. Because it was raining the lines to get into museums were horrendous. We waited to see the statue of David outside for probably two hours. It was however worth it. The statue is amazing and also a lot bigger then I had expected. In more ways then one ;) We then took in some amazing views of the city on our way through the Tuscan Hills for our Tuscan dinner where we got serenaded by two Italian opera singers and were also forced to dance by some of our tour mates.You know who you are.

Lucerne – This was a nice rest from the crazy hussle and bussle of Italy . Switzerland is very clean, orderly, and polite. It was a nice change. The Swiss are very into three things. Chocolate – Watches – & Swiss Army Knives. You can find stores for these 3 things everywhere!! The chocolate is amazing, the watches blow your mind, and they are not messing around with those knives. You are prepared for anything and then some. We just kind of wandered around. We took in some Swiss Fondue and a show which was cool and Jaron was forced to get up on stage and blow one of those huge horns from the Ricola commercials. Apparently it is harder then it looks. His prize……. A Ricola! Then a man dressed in a cow costume came out and ran through the crowds. It was odd, but fun.

Paris – Another amazing city. We got in and promptly went around all the major sites such as Napoleons tomb, the Arc de Triomphe, The Eiffel Tower, and the Champs Elysees . Later on in the evening a big group of us went back to the Eiffel Tower and waited so that we could go up it in the night. It is truly beautiful at night and very glittery and romantic. It is a hell of a lot higher then I thought and even for me who does not have a huge fear of heights it was still pretty scary. In the morning we got up early and headed to the Louvre via the subway and underground entrance. I almost had a drunken Parisian fall on me but somehow made it. I ran to see the Mona Lisa as soon as the museum opened and got to enjoy that without a huge crowd of people. We then just meandered through and took in the crazy opulence of the royal palace that is now the Louvre. Checked out the gravesite of Jim Morrison of ‘The Doors’ as well as Oscar Wilde’s gravesite and Chopin. The cemetery was really old and creepy and some looked as though they had been graved robbed. However it was ironically enough very beautiful and comforting. We then headed back and got ready for our dinner show at the Moulin Rouge. There are no words for this show. It was amazing and vibrant and just plain incredible. At one point a see through tank of water comes up through the stage and a scantily clad girl dances inside the water with a huge cobra!! A great way to end the tour.

New York City - Then we headed back to the US but had an overnight stay in NYC. I almost threw up in the back of a taxi from all the stop and go craziness. My friend Aimee graciously put us up at her place and pointed us on the right subway so Jaron could see the Statue of Liberty. We got there first thing in the morning and went inside the statue. It was cool because I was unable to do that when I went in 2003 with Ali & Christine. It was so windy however that we could lean forward and the wind would hold us up. In NYC I was happy to again be able to have Starbucks and all Jaron wanted to do was have some NYC street pizza. We also stumbled upon a protest that was going in front of Wall Street in regards to all the bonuses CEO’s got even though their companies had received bailouts. So that was unexpected. Then off again to be home.

Boston Cemetery

From: Buqo
Description:

While on break at a water conference in Boston, I wandered out for coffee and to see the Boston Commons. On the way, I noticed this small cemetery surrounded by red brick apartment buildings and modern retail areas on Tremont Street right by the Park Street subway station. This is the Old Granary Burying Ground which dates back to 1660. Paul Revere, John Hancock, and Samuel Adams are interred here as is Crispus Attucks, the runaway slave who was the first African-American casualty of the War of Independence. Even though the cemetery is surrounded by buildings, crowded sidewalks, and busy streets, there is still a certain serenity about this burial ground. The freshly fallen oak leaves made for a beautiful contrast with the cold gray headstones and you can almost feel the spirits of the victims of the Boston Massacre. There is a guided tour of the cemetery that is quite informative, or you can just do like I did and soak it up on your own. Either way it was a delightful break from the conference, which I got back to about two hours late.

New Yorkers in Florence, Italy

From: Martine
Description:

           The restaurant was perfect: small, romantic, and in Italy. The bread was warm, the third bottle of Chianti was as good as the first, and the occasional clinking of the dishes in the kitchen with the hushed sounds of Italian lulled Michael, my husband, and me into a dream like state.

            Then, like a cement truck screeching to a halt, came a loud shrill two tables away from us.

            “Bernie, how much was dinnah in American dollahs?”

            Loud, irritating, ear piercing, and yes, definitely from New York.   She ruined it! She ruined my Italian moment!

            Bernie’s tone was no less bearable.

            “Jesus, Sylvia. Why can’t you ever remember? A buck and a half for each Euro.”

            I looked up from my plate, bulged my eyes and tightened my jaw. That’s always a warning to my husband that I am about to take matters into my own hands. He looked at me with that please-don’t-say-anything look. I shoved a few gnocchi and a chunk of bread into my mouth, and guzzled two glasses of wine to keep from saying anything to them. But Michael and I knew it was a lost cause. There was no stopping me. I wanted to say,

            “Bernie, Sylvia, shut up! You’re giving Americans a bad name.”

            Before I could confront them however, their friends Stan and Rose, who were seated next to them, chimed in.

            “Bernie, don’t tip extra. Did you see the size of the coffee cup? Couldn’t even wet my lips.”

            More shrills, more penetrating squeals. It was all too typical. But I was in Italy, on vacation, and yes, perhaps a little inebriated, so I chose to be pleasant.

            “Hey Sylvia, what’s good for dessert,” I asked.

            Boy, was I sorry. We, as well as the waiter, the bartender, and the dishwasher in the back of the restaurant, all learned that they were from Queens. Rose cautioned me about the store owner down the street who hates Americans, while Bernie and Stan told Michael about how the Italian taxi cabs ripped them off. Michael and I just stared at each other. We left New York in 1992 and found it, in Italy, in 2007.

            The next morning we decided to have the breakfast buffet at the hotel. I was pouring myself a cup of orange juice when, no, it couldn’t be.

            “Stan, that’s your third cup of cauffee.”

            “Eah, leave me the hell alone Roe. I’m on vacation. How many times I gotta tell ‘ya?”

            Apparently he had to tell her and everyone in the restaurant. And believe me he did not need another jolt of caffeine.

            I tried to duck out of the restaurant. I hadn’t yet recovered from last night’s encounter.

            “Mornin’ honey. Sylvia, look who’s here,” shrilled Rose.

            Sylvia ran over from her table with a terrified look on her face.

            “Martine, stay away from the bagels. The Italians don’t know from bagels.”

            She gave the passing waiter a look that warned, don’t mess with New Yorkers, buddy. The waiter gave me a disapproving look. Just minutes before he smiled at me because I said, “Have a nice day” in Italian. And now, oh God! How do you say, “They’re not my friends, I don’t really know them?”

            “And the eggs. They’re orange,” added Rose. “What kind of mashuguna chickens lay orange eggs?”

            Rose plopped a huge slice of cantaloupe on my plate.

            “The cantaloupes are to die for, like buttah. And have a nice piece of whole wheat. By the way, they have some nice cottage cheese but it’s in the back. You have to ask for it.”

            She pointed to the kitchen. Through the kitchen door window, I saw the chef, staring at her, holding a huge, very sharp butcher knife.

            “Sylvia, go get her some,” Rose offered. “They know her here already.”

            “No s**t,” I thought.

            “Come on, girls. Our driva’s here.” Bernie to the rescue.

            “Bye, honey. We gotta go.”

            I poured out my orange juice and had a cup of Chamomile tea, the calming blend.

            The next day Michael and I went to see David by Michelangelo. What a sight! Something no one would ever expect. I couldn’t believe my eyes. No, not the statue. Quietly standing in the corner was Sylvia, Bernie, Rose, and Stan admiring Michelangelo’s masterpiece!

            They may have been quiet but oh, they still stood out. Stan was wearing his “I heart NY” tee-shirt with orange, blue, and green plaid shorts, and Rose was wearing her flowered travel outfit, you know the one that breathes and never wrinkles. Bernie had on his favorite Hawaiian shirt with the hula dancers and tropical drinks with tiny umbrellas, and Sylvia was showing off the fuchsia polyester pant suit that she bought just for this occasion. They could be quiet but they would not be missed.

            While everyone else was staring at David, I was staring at them. Sylvia leaned in to Bernie and whispered into his ear. Bernie nodded and smiled. Stan reached over and held Rose’s hand. A couple moved right in front of Rose and blocked her view. She said nothing and waited for them to have their fill of the statue from that angle. They stood in awe of the sculpture and I stood in awe of them. In silence, they left and as they passed, they smiled at me and nodded their heads.

            The next day, after touring the Duomo, the cathedral in Florence, Michael and I found a little restaurant. It was a dark, quiet one, tucked away down a side street. We walked in and there they were.

            “Sylvia, Roe! Hi! Did you see the Duomo?” I squealed loudly.

            Out of the corner of my eye, I swore I saw a woman shove a gnocchi in her mouth.

Fog in Blue Mountains, Jamaica

From: msbehavinmaiden
Description:

This is what is looks like in the Blue Mountains in Jamaica every day when this fog rolls in - during the afternoon. In a very short time period, this thick dense fog rolls in and cools down all of the mountains. Visibility is dramatically reduced - as you can see by the picture. As mysteriously as it rolls in, it rolls out the same. This process is the reason why coffee beans grown in the Blue Mountain are of exceptional quality. This photo was taken at Strawberry Hill - a resort in the Blue Mountains. It was this fog that inspired Bob Marley to write his song "Natural Mystic" while he recovered here after an assassination attempt in 1976.

Mexican Wedding Day Party

From: trvlmurofen
Description:

So, this is the actual view I had taken the shot of, not the other one I had listed which was a close up. This one may set the true scene of the moment. After a rainy day in Oaxaca, Mexico touring the sites, I was enjoying a nice cup of warm coffee on the second floor and out of my window was this wedding party. All the men were there to take care of this brides' maid. I don't think she was the bride nor did I actually see her.....so, maybe I'm wrong! This is in the courtyard of a beautiful cathedral.
