From some emails and comments I´ve received, it appears that ya´ll are not aware of the trials and tribulations of updating a blog from the illustrious third world. Let me explain (and create excuses as to the major delay in updating this of late).
First, there´s the simple problem of operating a camera when you can´t buy batteries that work. While it´s no problem to buy "dura-free" and "ener-cell" batteries, these only last long enough to turn the camera on to watch it die. Having finally found batteries, I still needed many other items to update this blog. Specifically:
A) Power
B) A computer made after 1989
C) A computer with USB outlets
D) Internet powered by something other than third-world dial-up providers.
Happily, I have found batteries and A-D at a lovely hostel in Bocas del Toro. While I can´t do much about the computer situation, we have stockpiled batteries. Happy blog reading!

We beg for photos with captions and commentary. We get excuses.
Agreed, dad. Maybe we should fire these guys and get different travellers...
Don't make me come down there and blog circles around you... becuase I will... and it will be glorious!
I know it's difficult even in major european cities, let alone Latin America, so no worries my little conquistadors... update as you can and I will wait patiently.
