The island of Taboga in Panama is one of lush natural landscape and rich cultural secrets. It's not far at all from Panama City which makes it the perfect weekend escape, potentially for Panama's jet-set crowd; a perfectly rustic alternative to the posh Pearl Islands. For me, it was the Rueben show.

We set sail from Balboa Yacht Club around six in the morning upon a boat called Casa Blanca. "She's 48 feet long" the captain boasted, at which point I stopped to question why vessels always have to be female considering they have no attributes that directly resemble a vagina.

To me, the Caribbean coast of Panama is a sexy mo-fo. From the hurly-burly real estate boom of Panama City, to the gold rushed Pacific beaches an hour East, it seems that many areas on the Atlantic side are experiencing this delightful feeling of disregard; one in which local families can eat their dinners by the sea, void of the jabbering chitchat and talk of investment that is the fast life.

Day 1 ----------
Left Chepe 7:10AM arrived Paso Canos 2:00PM. Beautiful day all day, maybe the most tranquil trip yet. Border crossing 25 minutes, so far every thing on schedule. Stopped in Volcan to chat with Orlando and his daughter Tehany, (Tahitian name) of Chiriqui Reality. The trip up to Volcan today was just supreme; I mean this area is absolutely beautiful. I can see my self doing something here.

Day 3 -------------
Punta Duarte in the province of Veraguas, this is the part of the Azuero peninsula--a peninsula that I have been yearning to visit.

 The night before came and went quickly and before I knew it I was waking up to my chirping alarm at 4:00 AM. It was early but not the bad kind of early: you know, the tired, almost angry early for work or school? It was the good early: that happy darkness that reminded me of pre-dawn packing for Europe and exciting dewy cab rides to the airport. I popped out of bed and looked at my grinning reflection in the mirror—I was going to San Blas.
I boarded the plane, a wobbly, achy looking prop jet which appeared to have been discarded by some American airline some time back. The seams that held the plane together were rusting and the tires could have used new treads. The plane actually reminded me of the ones I used to take when I was really young, from LAX to John Wayne Airport in Orange County—but the key part being that I was really young, perhaps 15 years ago. This plane looked like it had been sleeping for the past century. It looked as unused as the shower cap in a hotel bathroom. Though when it was time, the take off was quick and relatively painless—as we flung off the runway like a slingshot and climbed several hundred feet before the airstrip even ended.

Day 4: Panama Travel Drove to Playa Venado stopping at Pedasi to take a few pics of this quaint little town that looks like an artist's village where no artists live.

Before I begin this blog, I'd like to pay respect to the late Oral B Sonic toothbrush. Oral B ran steadily for 34 full days without its missing charger. Oral B is survived by his brother Oral B dental floss and estranged wife Crest White Strips. He died at this 8:52 this morning. May he rest in peace.
Oh sorry, Today I went on a belated introductory tour of Panama City...

This time I stepped in it. On Friday, February 17th, I worked a day shift with a tugboat captain, patrolling the waterways of one of the seven wonders of the modern world. The Panama Canal.
