Porvenir was where we signed in to the San Blas Islands
This was the first time I had seen a dugout canoe and they are truly amazing craft
The Kuna ladies dress in beautiful traditional dress but do not like being photographed
The islands are all small and the dwellings on them blend in well being made of palm fonds.
in the larger islands there are many concrete structures but not on the outer islands
Many small islands are unoccupied and covered in palms.
But every palm has an owner, so.......
Sign on tree at Porvenir.
A typical dwelling out on an island in the Holandes Cays.
This is the view from our anchorage in the "Hot Tub" in the eastern Holandes Cays
Barbeque Island and the "Swimming Pool" Anchorage
Daily one is approached to but molas... this is the master mola maker showing us his excellent work
Besides molas they sell fish, veg and anything else they can. The crayfish, crabs and octopus were great. we kept them alive in a large "spanish" bucket so that they stayed fresh... and tasty
The canoes are shaped out of a single log. They are paddled and sailed.
Leaveng the Coco Bandero Cays
Another small island full of trees
Lemon Cay the only place there is a "pub" ashore.
His father was selling fish and he climbed aboard, but no smile
