We had a great time here at Puerto Amistad, in Bahia de Car\u00e1quez, after traveling inland. A few cloudy days and no rain or lightening, so different to Panama, from what we are hearing.\u00a0\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\nBahia surprised us with lots of things on for New Years. Fireworks and a free band on the street with lots of people hanging out enjoying it. At midnight people bring their painted effigies of politicians, pop culture figures, and other icons of the year to torch in the streets. They come in all shapes & sizes.
