The following is a pictorial journey through the city streets and countryside of Panama. Our goal was to spend some time with our beloved Mary & Dusty in their adopted home. That aim was accomplished. The road to that goal was at times harrowing, at times breathtaking, and always entertaining. Mary & Dusty hosted us with unceasing generosity and a graciousness that knew no bounds. We saw Panamanians at both their best (e.g., stopping mountainside farming midday to guide two haggard gringo hikers to safety) and their worst (e.g., the traffic circles of Panama City fail to engender warmth). We loved every second and hope to get back soon.
