Little frog, my Bocas bathroom friend.Sunday, September 04 2005 @ 02:39 PM EDT Contributed by: Anonymous Views: 1,295 I have been living in the jungle on the sea for two years, and all of that time, I have had the same type of little tree frog living with me. I would like to ask the froggie experts out there: what kind of frog do we have here and why on earth does he prefer my bathroom to the great outdoors? Lately froggie has been spending time in the overflow drain of the sink. I am not a squeamish person, but while I was obliviously washing my face, he popped in then out, which gave me quite a shock!

Panama's colorful crafts preserve cultureMigdalia Preciado sits on a wooden bench across from her home with a palm-thatched roof. It is among 200 houses crammed onto an island the size of two football fields off Panama's Caribbean coast. Her blouse is two finely embroidered panels sewn front and back. These multilayered appliqués, known as molas, are Panama's most famous native craft. Traditional mola designs depict geometric adaptations of ancient body paintings, creation tales of how the Kuna native people came to these islands or stories about the triumphs of their ancestral heroes.See: http://www.tucsoncitizen.com/index.php?page=business&story_id=080405d1_panama_day4main
