Apparently I get a silly amount of traffic from Germany, followed closely by Panama and the UK. Not really a surprise as I have spent a fair amount of time in all of those countries!

Meanwhile the above picture is of the Bala Beach resort, the first of its kind on the Caribbean coast of Panama. Beforehand there had only been the tropical playground of Bocas del Toro. It looks pretty snazzy and is partially complete – the picture I took was for their corporate website. Can’t wait to see it finished and grab a room. Oh, and Beach facing restaurant? heck yes!
