One of the more famous islands in San Blas

The view from our hostel, Luna's Castle.

Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man (Uomo vitruviano) is by far the most famous and most important work in the collection of the Galleria dell’Accademia in Venice. Unfortunately, it is rarely displayed due to its fragility. It was displayed in 2025 and it may be several years before it is shown again.

 

"We kindly inform our visitors that, for conservation purposes, the viewing of Leonardo da Vinci's drawing Study of the

Proportions of the Human Body, commonly known as the Vitruvian Man, is timed.

 

The drawing is visible for 20 minutes, followed by 20 minutes of darkening, achieved by lowering a curtain."

Visit the Gallerie dell’Accademia, the top art museum in Venice, to see masterpieces by Titian, Bellini, Veronese, Tintoretto, and, with a bit of luck, Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man.

Chris and I hiked to two secluded beaches on this lush island, where we also spent two nights.

In the mornings and afternoons the largest cargo ships pass through the canal. This one had to pay near $250 to pass through.

Imagine a drawing of a man in two superimposed poses. He stands with his arms outstretched and his legs together and apart, inscribed in a circle and a square. Maybe you have seen him before? This is the famous Vitruvian Man by Leonardo da Vinci. Below, we look at this esteemed drawing and aim to discuss in more detail the Vitruvian Man meaning.

Isla Bastimientos is the more secluded of the two main islands in Bocas del Toro

We visited this lake in order to participate in research which involved scuba diving in the lake in order to monitor fish populations and behaviors. There are several species of fish that are unique to the lake. Below you can also see and feel the fumaroles from the volcanic activity underneath the crater lake.

Chris was with me for ten days in Panama.

I met these lovely ladies while traveling in Ecuador, and again in Panama.

The accomodations are rustic and the food simple, but the price is right!

We spent two days alone, except for an indigenous family, on this island
