CENTRAL AMERICA & MEXICO
Four months after 9/11/01, I began traveling internationally. Meeting people of different cultures is the best education in the world. Costa Rica was my first big gig. I published over six articles on this friendly, biodiverse nation. WildBird (june 2004), Tico Times, and the Richmond Times Dispatch are a few of my outlets.

Besides Mexico City and the border towns, in the heart of Tamaulipas lies a jewel, El Cielo Cloud Forest. This UNESCO site teems with birds and other wildlife. One autumn, I had the priviliege of exploring this unusual and primitive area with a group of nature-minded Texans.

Because it is so new and vital, I have created a separate PANAMA Gallery.
***When I asked which is my favorite journey, I often reply, "The latest one."
Without question, one of my best expeditions was my recent one to Panama.
Besides Latinos, I mingled with indigenous Ngobe Bugle, Kuna, and Embera Indians.
I witnessed the history of the Canal Zone and navigated in a skiff amongst gigantic commercial vessels within minutes of a jungle.
In the wild Darien, a small group and I spent over 5 hours jungle trekking in search of the Harpy Eagle, Panama's national bird.
Fresh, delicious seafood, fruits, and vegetables sustained my energy.
Convenient for Americans, the U.S. Dollar is the main currency.
Panama is on EST and below the hurricane belt. Numerous superlatives distinguish this place, a wee smaller than South Carolina.
