PANAMA!

I am jumping ahead to current events. At 7:30 last night, Woody sent a Spot message from Bocas del Toro, Panama.

I hope this link will work:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=9.3386,-82.2407&ie=UTF8&om=1&ll=9.346601,-82.242966&spn=0.020749,0.034246&t=p&z=15

You may have to cut and paste it until I figure out how to put a link in a post. Weird. Anyway, gorgeous, check out the pictures on the left side of the map. If you use the satellite image you can see streets and everything.

From here Woody will be catching a ride on a German sailboat (I believe the captain is German, I don't know the nationality of the actual vessel) around Columbia. Thank goodness for that. (There have been some significant threats of physical harm -- by mom to him -- if Woody disobeyed mom's request and went through Columbia...)

We are hoping he is going to connect up with some contacts in Panama (thanks, Thibodeaus!) before he departs. I'll have more tonight!
