The Airport Had Just Begun Construction
An airport was being constructed that would bisect the isthmus. We were surprised to be told that it would be an international airport. The guide expressed fear that an airport would ruin the island by making it too popular.

Bicycles A Convenient Way To Travel
The island was so small that a person (such as this local) could easily get around by bicycle. One of our tour group, Kaela Tompkins of British Columbia, rented a bicycle on the second day and explored on her own.

A Typical House
A typical house with a dog out front. Notice how the roof was constructed with a gap to help keep the house cool.
