bocas del toro... best place to go visit in panama!  that is, if ur into paradisiac caribbean islands, rustic but exotic hotels, and excellent & varied food.

 

heres the lowdown on my experience:

 

we stayed at el limbo.  rather nice!  will stay there on my next trips, im sure!

 

we partied at barco hundido.  the club is the one thats happening... hot bartender and all!

 

we beached at:
red frog - for $2, walk thru a dense and pretty jungle to get to the beach.  check out the bar, flip flops, w swings seats.  expect strong current and big waves here.

boca del drago - quiet beach.  calm waves.. almost non existent!  40-min taxi cab drive but well worth to spend a morning there.

 

we ate at (the most memorable):

pargo rojo - all around nice.  this is the place if u feel like eating and being trendy while at that.

el pecado del sabor - cheesy name not reflective of the food!  i felt like at a mexican cantina.  awesome environment.  high-end food.

 

here are other general links:

 

always support our locals and travelling hippies when here.  they made our stay the most enjoyable.   so.. come out to bocas and play!

first, the explosion occurs...

 

second, the ad, making mention of the equation used to develop the atomic bomb...

the olsens.. in vogue.. by paolo roversi

very much 70s pop art-esque..  luv it!

 

while i think its great that angelina jolie gives a third of her income to charity and the african cause... i think that it is all unnecessary publicity.  we know u care, ange.  we get it.  lets move on. 

 

also, can we all agree that we were not really expecting her to talk about the refugee cause, but about if whether stealing husbands represented a setback on her work to the african cause?  ok.  a bit to racy.  but.. is she adopting again?  what country this time?  thats really what we all cared about...

 

as for anderson, perhaps angelina is not promoting a movie, but.. we havent exactly forgotten he just published his first book.  great!  coop has just accomplished journalism stardom!

 

heres gawker's breakdown on anderson coopers interview to angelina jolie.  this is a must-read.  hilarious!  

heres nypost's words about it.

im just so dissappointed at the netherlands.  everyone who knows me knows that ive always thought of amsterdam as the land of milk and honey.  gezellig.  i admire their acceptance and resolution to issues like gay marriage, euthanasia, and drug use. 

 

but then ayaan hirsi ali happened.   ayaan is a somalian who fleed to the netherlands under false personal information to gain asylum.  the netherlands has allegedly juuust found out and, therefore, has revoked her dutch citizenship. 

 

like mario vargas llosa proclaims, the netherland loses.  they lose ayaan, the advocate for freedom of speech and rights of women.  i guess the US wins, as she will be migrating there to work for a think tank.  the US can be cool like that...

 

 

happy world refugee day, ayaan!
