R&D

It occurs to me that I know very little about Panama and Costa Rica, so I thought it would be prudent to learn a bit before showing up with my ususal lack of preparation.
So here's a map. Note that it has a lot of blue, that's because panama is an isthmus, a narrow strip of land that connects two large land masses. I'm just glad that I can easily find Panama City by looking for the big star. This is where my trek will begin and end.

And, here's another map of Balboa's travels to the pacific c 1513. Really, I just wanted free maps on my post. There will be more.
