Panama would be our last stop in Central America – even though we looked forward to finally touching ground in South America, we were in no rush to leave the sub-continent. And Panama made a great departure – a few more chicken buses and bland capital cities paired with gorgeous Caribbean beaches and excursions that will remain life highlights – we were ready to say goodbye to the countries that had meant so much and embark on a new journey south of the border.
(Editor's note: I know, I know... Mexico is in North America - but that blog doesn't exist, so it fits nicely - if not geographically incorrectly - in Central America...)
