Some glimpses of Central America
[Above: A tricked out commuter bus in Panama City]
It's been almost a month since I finished my transit through Central America, but I did want to share some photos of the experience. Each text link below pops into its own window containing the picture described.
Right now I'm in Cusco, Peru, getting ready to head to Chile. Check the DATW blog for a general idea of what's been going on with our expedition in South America.
