Global Routes Costa Rica just got back from a weeklong mid-program break in western Panama. They visited the beach town of Santa Catalina and the island of Coiba just off-shore, which is a natural paradise for wildlife, both above and below the water. Here is an\u00a0alphabetic narrative of their journey there:<\/h3>\n

A is for Aquamarine<\/strong>. We were blown away by the bright blue shade of the tropical water surrounding Isla Coiba.<\/p>\n

B is for the Banana Nutella Smoothies<\/strong>\u00a0that we enjoyed on our first night back from the island. After two nights on the beach it was a cool and delicious treat.<\/p>\n

C is for Croc Tracks\u00a0<\/strong>– spotted on Playa Machete in the early morning!<\/p>\n

D is for Dolphins\u00a0<\/strong>– we caught glimpses of several groups of dolphins. The last one on our way back to Santa Catalina put on a Sea World-like show, jumping high up out of the water!<\/p>\n
