From a lovely cat lady to beautiful views at a pizza parlor on the dock of Bocas del Toro. There are many things that Panama has to offer. I did not expect to travel there, but I am so glad I did. Walking across the border from Costa Rica into Panama, a local said, “Do you know what two words you need to know in Spanish? Cerveza and bano.” I laughed all the way into Panama. That is how Panama began, and that is how it continued to be.
