Hooked on Panama

Hooked on Panama is a fishing resort located about as far West as you can go in Panama -- on the border with Costa Rica. Four couples - all neighborsplus one Labradoodle (Buddy) and one Pomeranian (Zoya) - went for two nights.

It is a beautiful spot making all of us think of Hawaii. Most of us just lazed around, enjoyed the views and the quiet, read books, etc. The more adventurous went out on the boat where they saw dolphins and caught a dorado and two yellow fin tuna. The meals are served family style in the lodge accompanied by plenty of cocktails and a lot of great stories from the owners! The dorado was cut into fingers and fried and served as an appetizer -- the tuna became sashemi and seared Ahi served with wasabi! Delicious.

The dogs loved running around on the grass and we were all startled when Buddy started barking and two Federali policemen, in full camo plus AK 47's, came out of the jungle. They were just walking through - probably a border patrol of some sort - but a bit startling nonetheless.
