IS THERE A HOLE IN THE BOAT? TALES OF TRAVEL IN PANAMA WITHOUT A CAR by Darrin DuFord

Booklocker.com, Inc.
Genre: Travel Narrative
Rating: Exceptional
ISBN: 9781591139973, $13.95, 196 pp.


Is There a Hole in the Boat? is a marvelously entertaining atypical narrative of Darrin DuFord's travel adventures while hiking, bribing and bartering his way around Panama. It is most unique and filled with a sense of the people/culture, epicurean delights and tidbits about history, current and past politics.

Darrin DuFord is a gifted, accomplished writer with a vibrant style, and his debut book was chosen by Fore Word Magazine as a finalist for the 2006 Book of the Year Award. You can find his latest articles and recipes on his website Omnivorous Traveler (http://www.omnivoroustraveler.com). I consider this little book an exceptional, fun read and highly recommend it. You won’t be disappointed.
