12 July
Costa Rica was a blur, we were there less than 24 hours. We sort of feel like we were on the run in Costa Rica. It took 2 and a half hours to get across the border and moving again in Panama. It is a grey cloudy day, so these few pictures don't do justice to the Costa Rican west coast.
The highway in Panama was built post WWII by US Army CE's so it was well built. The speed limit in some places is posted at 100 km. It was a nice change from CA-1 in Costa Rica. We made it to Volcan around 2:30. Roger and I checked into a hotel, because Norm was going to camp at the Volcan police station right in the center of Volcan. After last night, we decided we needed a hotel room to rest. Roger had a tough day behind the wheel avoiding trucks.
Tomorrow will be spent relaxing in Volcan. Norm said that several years ago Volcan was listed as one of the top 5 places to retire and since then the price of real estate has gone through the roof. We saw several nice compounds, but getting a picture is hard to do when you can't stop and there's no shoulder to the road.
