My apologies Hub, looks like I was wrong. Funny you say that coastie, I was down there last year and the whole country seemed pretty safe, well except the big town you fly in and out of. We visited la fortuna and a little surf town right on the border of panama and the eastern side of the country (dont remember the name).
But yes, the big city that you fly in and out, we werent too eager to hang out there for long.
