Coiba, Panama

One week on our Wind Star cruise, we were able to deviate a little from our standard port in Nicaragua to head further south to Coiba, Panama. At one time it was a maximum security prison, but now it's just a standard one. :) On this remote island lived about 60 prisoners, a handful of guards, and a crocodile named Tito.

I'm searching through my photo files and I'm surprised to find this one is the only one I have. I thought I took a photo of the spiny back of Tito barely emerging out of the water. It wasn't safe to swim with him, but you could take photos. :) What surprised me most about this small island is the fact that even they had t-shirts for sale for the 140 people on the ship who came once. They were embroidered, most likely by hand. Check it out.

I love how "Panama" appears in the water of this shirt.

I'll keep looking for photos of Tito and let you know if and when I find them.
