San Blas-ted

To say I am darker than you right now would be an understatement.  I don't care if you are from Sierra Leone or are a coal miner from Kentucky, I am darker than you right now and you just need to accept it.  Though it took a little convincing from Ryan, I just sailed for 5 days through the San Blas Islands off the coast of Panama.

I've been to 20 countries now in my young life and seen a lot of very beautiful places and I really think this one might have just won the award for prettiest place I've experienced.  After meeting this beautiful Australian girl at the bus stop on the way to Panama, it honestly didn't take a lot of convincing on her part to talk us into sailing with her on the Eileen.  Captained by a rough around the edges Turkish couple, we packed on board with 7 other passengers and spent 5 days and 5 nights at sea and around the islands.  The San Blas Islands are almost too perfect to describe... amazing white beaches, crystal clear water with coral teeming with wildlife, warm, and each with the huts of the local Kuna Indians living on the islands themselves.  No use looking for any other superlatives so I'll let the pictures try and speak for themselves.

NBD... just sailing to Colombia
