Product Description

Synopsis
Darrin DuFord hikes, bribes, and barters his way across Panama, an overlooked filament of the tropics. Sampling barbecued jungle rodent and corn homebrew, DuFord encounters a land where the machete can slash through just about anything, - except the nation"s spirit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Is There a Hole in the Boat? , 8 Oct 2007

By	Tami Brady "Whole Health Therapist" (Calgary, Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Oftentimes, I get a little frustrated with travelogues. Some contain nothing but funny stories about their travels. I read, I laugh, but not much of these stories actually stick with me for any length of time. When asked, I say the book was funny but that's about all I remember.

Conversely, some such books are incredibly dry. These books tend to be quite anthological in nature so they have a good deal of cultural information. I love learning about other cultures, beliefs, and lifeways. I also enjoy little tidbits of information or trivia. Therefore, I tend to enjoy the actual content of these books but truthfully they are hard to get through.

Is There a Hole in the Boat? takes the best of both types of travelogues and makes them into entertaining yet substantial whole. I came away from this book with more insight into Panama; its political and social issues, and most importantly its people. Panama is so much more than a canal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Did Dr . Who go to Panama?, 27 Jul 2007

By	need to calm (california) - See all my reviews

Well.. Dr. Who may have accidently dropped into Panama during a Tardis malfunction ... maybe no, but I do know Tom Baker encountered both the gentle and savory characters of the universe.... characters which also co-exist right here on our planet. Panama may seem a long way from England.... but the people from Panama described in the author's narratives/ book are both complex , warm and giving, and doing the best they can to survive within their climate, resources, and intrinsic knowledge.Real-time travel to Panama was never easier, than with this author. What more can we say for any civilization, finally an accurate report of who the Panamanians are.
