When it comes to checking in and out of the country, Panama can be, shall we say…casual. In some places, they stand at the dock to make sure you’ve left, but many people cruise Panama for a month or more without checking in to the country. We took advantage of this on our way out, and spent a few days in Isla Parida.\"DSCF2905\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There are about 100 people who live on this island, and the whole thing is criss-crossed with hiking trails, taking you from beach to gorgeous beach.\"DSCF2950\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh.<\/p>\n

Now we’re in Costa Rica, enjoying the fabulous hospitality of Katie at\u00a0Land-Sea. So far, we’re finding things friendly, expensive, and wet. We don’t plan to stay long in Golfito; we hear there’s less rain up north, and we have family to meet in the Nicoya Peninsula, so we’ll save the zip-lining and rafting until September.<\/p>\n
