Monkey business
Once had a monkey grab a bag of medicine from my hand in Tanzania...chased it some distance before it tossed it aside. Very different to have one open a backpack, remove a banana...and say thank you. Great yarn.

I agree with D&MJ, I thought it was a much more serious case of robbery. Glad it was only a little trickster. ;)

Border Crossing in Costa Rica - I can SO relate!
This had to be one of the worst border crossings EVER! We had our car and, because of some paperwork SNAFU, we had to wait 8 hours to cross - not fun! Loved your blog and the pictures are amazing - can't wait to read the next installment!

Ok, you reeled us in with that one!
Too funny. Sounds like you had sloths a plenty. Ah, the joys of reggae and the Caribbean. Glad you continue to have fun. Be safe.

Looks lovely!
As you say, you don't expect countries outside of Asia to have beaches like that! Once we make it to Central America, we will definitely check all these beaches out.

You found another gem
Your travel and bargaining skills show its head again. Good to see you resting & relaxing with the clear blue green Caribbean waters. The food looks great.

Kitchen dumpster divers :)
I love the way you write your blogs. It feels like my best friend is telling me all about her great trip.

Beach bunnies!
Good to see you two back on the beaches with your gorgeous photos with a million shades of blue! Thanks for breaking my stereotype of Panama as a place to rush through--once again, I'll follow your excellent advise.

Fabulous images!
Incredible photos of the colorful alfombras and processions! Reading your descriptions, I could smell the wood, flowers and incense, and I love your comment on appreciating customs so different from your own. Perfect timing in sharing this for Easter. Hope you're adjusting to life temporarily not on the road.

Been there and loved reading about it again
I was in Antigua in 2006 for Semana Santa and loved every procession. They start 2 -3 weeks before Easter but really culminate in the Good Friday one that leaves La Merced church (the one with the gladiators who wears brooms on their heads). I loved it all- the smells, the bells, the drum beats, the children sleeping on their dad's shoulders, elaborate alformbras, and simple ones made out of pine needles and cut up chip bags so their shiny insides shone. I, too, marveled at how the women could walk the cobblestones wearing heels and not even looking down at their feet. I hate that everyone associates the KKK with the processional robes. You are right that they go way back to medieval times. Leave it to a hate group to steal something religious and make it their own signature - something Orwellian about that.
