Panama Surf Spot

I heard a rumor that this guy is a pro surfer.

The pro-surfer rumor is verified by behavior like this.

This guy guards the clothesline.

When living in the tropics, it’s good to keep the big spiders around. They kill and eat the annoying bugs. This one has an aluminum looking chest plate and polka dots. Who wouldn’t want a good looking assassin on their team?

Hiking Bastimentos Island – Old Bank to Wizard Beach to Red Frog Beach

This is my best attempt at documenting a fun hike we took. We set out from Old Bank a neighborhood on the west end of Bastimentos island in Bocas Del Toro Panama. We walked a mile to a beach called Wizard Beach (AKA First Beach). We walked down Wizard Beach and through some jungle to reach Red Frog Beach.

Here are some photographs of the journey. If you’re interested in a video, that will be visible after the photographs.

IMPORTANT: This is the exact route where a US woman was murdered in 2017. This trail is lawless and not recommended for single travelers (article 1, article 2,  article 3).

Gardnerville Skateboard Park

I think the Gardnerville skateboard park is the best skate park in Nevada. If you want directions, Google has this map. Here are some photos:

This is bigger than it looks.

For a post skateboard drink, it’s fun to visit Nevada’s oldest bar. Since you’re all the way out in Gardnerville, you might as well check out this gem.
