Rice and Beans

Crazy adventures in Central America from the author that brought you the "Trip Around the Sun" series of books. Here she brings more tales of adventure, this time in Panama, Costa Rica and Nicaragua. She ponders whether to stay on the bus when a blind man takes the driver's seat, and whether coming to the wild west town in the Nicaraguan mountains really was a good idea after all. Should she be worried that Panama's roads are being shut down or that she's stuck on a Caribbean island? The motor on the only boat that can get her back to the mainland has just conked out. The island of Ometepe, the San Juan River, pit vipers, howler monkeys, muddy trails and shoes full of ants await you. Grab a bowl of Rice & Beans and dig in.
