Early September, 2016 – Top Ten List
Today I take a light-hearted look at life in Bocas. Living here isn't all battles with snakes and saving tortoises. There is plenty of time to contemplate the meaning of life.
Some time ago, Dawn and I began making our top ten list of reasons why you might be late to work in Bocas. The problem was, we couldn’t cut it down to ten reasons. There are so many. We finally managed to keep it to thirty.
But who cares? Why would you want to go to work in Bocas anyway?
With apologies to David Letterman, here is our top ten (plus twenty) reasons why you might be late to work here in Bocas.
