Santa Catalina, Panama

a village on the jungle edge of the tropical pacific-- that's where Josephine & I stay for much of our time in panama. just before the end of the dirt road that dead ends on the beach is a thirty yard driveway that goes to the top of a small bluff. painted yellow, clay, red, & blue, frequently mopped and sheets drying in the breeze there's Las Cabañas de Rolo on a bluff from which you can see through the jungle garden to the bay. it's not the consistent surf break that put santa catalina on the map, that's around a point a bit to the east, but it's the home for our long satisfying days of exploration, discussion, & image-making. we meet locals, people from the states, swiss, israelis, french, australians, argentineans, portuguese, travelers, surfers, and travelers who have made a new home. and we're here to follow our insightful subject for bitheway. he has found many excellent reasons to spend time here . . . we have but one camera here -- the DVX100A -- and no computer. we'll have to get stills off that to put up here, later on.
