Spring Break

hi

i was just checking to see if anyone new where the parties were this spring break. I've searched around a few sites and haven't found anything official yet. Some people are suggesting panama as a road trip but i don't know. Although its a cheap area and its well maintained its not the party central.

Others were suggesting Baja as the spot to be because theres a limited number of people interested and it would make for a good time. Im not so sure though because of the way its being promoted, and the general travelling. Im sure we could get a flight there but thats costly to start with, then theres everything else to pay for. Although a few of us could be tempted in by the idea of a road trip.

let me know if theres any news.

thanks.

Happy Mother’s and Father’s Day

I hope you enjoy this presentation! Inspired by award winning photographs, I edited down full-length captions that the photographer had originally written.

It now fits a 3.5-minute song that says everything about loss.

Some Notes about Panama

Panama is not the swampy, mosquito-ey hellhole that it's stereo typed as, any more than South Florida is. Panama City is a thoroughly modern city. A large mountain range runs through the country. Temperatures were tropical in the lowlands, but very temperate in the highlands. It was safe to drink water from the tap in all the places we went.

The national currency is the U.S. dollar. You don't have to exchange money when you go to Panama from the U.S. In some places, they call dollars"balboas," in other places, they call them "dollares." "10 balboas" is $10U.S.

Roads are good. The Pan American Highway through Panama is four lanes in some places, two lanes in others, but well maintained. If you'veever been to Costa Rica, it's nothing like that. Prices in Panama City are rather expensive for Central America -most things cost around 60-70 percent of what they would cost in the U.S.Prices outside the capital are cheaper. For example, a fine lunch in PanamaCity cost around $8; in David, a very good lunch was around $5. There's more to Panama than the canal!
