These are the Kuna dumplings. They were practicing their English on us with "have a nice day". The Kuna are camera shy and the women don't liked to be photographed. So we ask for permission first and they were OK with pictures of the kids. The kids were digging it.
As Jenee likes to tell me - don't be that guy! Evidently this guy was in a hurry to get behind the reef and the islands a couple of years ago during a storm. He needed to go about 5 miles east or west to get around. I wonder if he said "Hey, f-that, watch this..."
I should point out these islands are about 1-2 feet above sea level. They are fully protected by a series of reefs where you see 12 foot waves crashing 100 yards from the island and only ripples coming across. The area is also south of the hurricane belt, which is nice.
Here's Jenee's favorite shot, probably because she took it. You can see one of the Kuna's dugout canoes. They fashion a sail on these as well and zip around the islands.
Finally, a local bar to crawl into! Johnny Macaranas ay not be famous worldwide, but it works for me - $1 a beer in this place. There is a God! The Kuna women make these embroidered cloth designs called Molas. I think we bought a few.
