Don’t get me wrong, Bogota is a pretty cool city with lots of things to do and see… if you can get past the whole weather thing. After spending… Continue reading Burned Out? Rained Out? Welcome to Bogota, Colombia
When we stepped foot onto Utila-like Bocas del Toro, Panama, I think I must have lost 8 years or so of my life on the water taxi. I was 21 again and for some reason wanting to re-live those years.

Seeing the process from start to finish was nothing like I expected. Hell, I didn’t even know chocolate… Continue reading Chocolate – Breakfast of Champions
As we sat around drinking beers with our friends, I came to the realization that one of our main topics of conversation always came back to food that made us homesick.
