Okay, so I am still on the run in Central America... I will do a proper update when I am home, and not negotiating strange keyboards on a time limit. Suffice to say, I have not been captured by rebels in the Darien, nor was I in a helicopter crash. I did, however, get stuck on a very long bus ride when the Interamericana was shut today, and we were routed along dirt roads with one way bridges carrying the bulk of Costa Rican traffic today... More to follow, most likely when I am home, to fill in some gaps.

The Panama Canal is amazing.
