So I am still in San Blas, and I guess I'll be here for a few m

ore days. I had to come into the river

entrance, so I am up a creek, you could say. On the way in I came

when the tide was low and still

going out, so the worst possible time. I bumped the bottom on the way, but a wave picked

me up and helped me across the bar, so I am safe. And now that I am safe, it is not so easy to just leave again. I've been wandering around, but there are a fair amount of bugs here, so its not so fun just to walk through the forest getting eaten alive. I've been trying to work on a project, but the one that I can think of (making another spear shaft for the new speargun) is not possible here, since they don't have any straight metal rods.
I'm sitting in the central square, where I can get internet, so I figured I'd post some more pictures from the trip to the islands.
Unlike a lot of the other towns I've been in, there are almost no American tourists here. maybe 20 out of a town of 10,000. Or maybe it is the wrong season.
