After years of traveling and endless museums and churches, we've found that taking a local cooking class can be a more immediate way to get a look into a local culture. Unlike a display in a museum case, foods and recipes give a window into living culture.

We recently attended the Antigua Cooking School. It is located under the clock tower (in the same building as the bookstore and Adventure Travel.

Hi,

While the Lonely Planet claims one can reach Gatun Lock taking public transportation, Moon guidebook says this is not possible.
While Moon urges travelers to avoid Colon at all costs, Lonely Planet says it is not that dangerous, as long as one treads carefully.

Has anyone been to Colon and/or Gatun Locks lately, and could fill me in...

Thanks much,

I have been reading this forum for the last 10 days and enjoyed it very much. I have a much better idea of CR and will be driving around the country soon. Just a 2WD car ( hopefully I won't regret the saving i'm trying to do by not renting a 4X4). I need a good map of the country. Is there a good website to download map from? I looked around on the net, anything that seems useful would need ordering but I don't have enough time anymore. About at the airport ? I will spend the 1st night in…

On Craig's list toronto someone is trying to sell a return ticket to San Jose on Air Canada leaving from Toronto March 28 and returning April 16 ...for $300 bucks or best offer...seems they won it and can't find anyone to take it...sounds like a great deal if it is for real....wish i could take advantage of it, but maybe someone else can...

Hi,

Great to be backpacking, but I have to work while I'm away and I would really like to know if any of the cheap hostels ($8-$15 max) in Panajachel provide free wi-fi in the price.

If anyone knows, you will make me a very happy bunny, as the info isn't in my LP shoestring guide.

Cheers
Linda
