Took a tour of the western Carribean recently and got some great banana pics as well as some of the regular tourist stuff.
Cartagena Columbia
Bananas and cannons. Such a peaceful looking setting within the Inquisition Palace. The rack, guillotine and other fun devices are right around the corner.

Panama – NW of the canal zone on the Pequeni river.
Two hour bus ride. Then a 15 mile trip upriver in a dugout canoe to an Embera Indian villiage.

Idyllic setting of hut with naners shot from dugout canoe. All the river huts are built on stilts cause at night things get scary. They got puma , bobcats and snakes running around. Like fer-de-lance. And big boas. And bird sized mosquitos. Oh my!

Limon, Costa Rica
Canal tour – bananas everywhere growing wild. Locals say no one picks the fruit. It’s left strictly for the birds. The howler and spider monkeys don’t touch them.
