Hello Todd and Tynan. It is me, Eric Bomblatus, from Casa de Luz. I am speechless. You and your journey across the world will become an inspiration not just for me, but many others. I truly admire your zeal for seeing and experiencing the world. I am also considerably envious.
The recycled school buses and "low-budget" parades remind me of Antigua, Guatemala. Both Panama and Guatemala do not seem too different, especially when considering that the people love their countries. Thank you for the nostalgia.
