The last weekend of February we went to Bocas del Toro, Panama. This was quite the adventure. We started the morning at 3, and arrived at the Costa Rica Panama border at 10. Once we left Costa Rican immigration we had to cross a old, wooden, and halfway broken bridge. This was how we crossed the border. Once across, we waited in a line for Panama immigration. This was probably one of the biggest cultural differences I´ve experienced so far. Immigration was relaxed and you basically just needed your passport checked. As soon as we crossed the border into Panama men in military were all around. I wasn´t expecting this, just because being in Costa Rica there is no military. We then took another bus and a boat we were finally there. The water was beautiful. We were in a small island town with a lot of things to do. We snorkeled the next morning and relaxed on the beach. It was the Sunday super bowl so we were searching for places playing it. Most places were playing the game, and there were crowds! The landscape of Panama was beautiful, clear water, beautiful plants, many places looked like a post card. This trip allowed me to realize that each Central American country is different, I realized this once I saw the Panama military all over the island. The Spanish was a little different as were the people. We were only there for a weekend, but I could see differences. This trip made me want to travel to Panama City, and to see other parts of Latin America. The interesting thing about traveling is that it causes you to be more curious than you were before you went on that trip. A lot of the restaurants were water front, which allowed for an even more relaxing time. This trip allowed me to realize even more that the world is so big, and there is so much to see! Pura Vida!
