		<title>2nd Anniversary of, The Lost Paradise of Panamá</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been two years since I decided to jump in and start a blog, with the main theme being about Panamá.

I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<title>Road Trip</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Along the Interamericana, and Panama&#8217;s highways and back roads, are many restaurants and vendor stands. They sell mainly home-made food and hand-made items. There&#8217;s fast-food in some of Panama&#8217;s cities, but for the most part, you need to order and wait. In some places you can watch the meat being cooked and pick out the piece of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[October 3 is the 20th anniversary of the attempted coup d&#8217;etat against the commander of the Panama Defense Force (PDF), General Manuel Antonio Noriega.

		<title>Ghost Story &#8212; Panama Canal Tunnels</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s October, and that means it&#8217;s ghost story time. I&#8217;ve always enjoyed a good scare. To some that work on the Canal, spirits don&#8217;t only exist above ground, but also far below.
Not long ago I was relaxing at a relative&#8217;s home as his young granddaughter ran back and forth. The sun was setting and a nice, [...]]]></description>
