Pecos to Panama Overland Summer 2009

A few weeks after her return to Pecos, Texas, following a three-thousand-mile overland journey to Panama, Brenilda R. Bauer sat down to write a letter relating some of the episodes of the trip to some close friends in California.

Using a few notes she had written on the road, together with some photographs she and her husband had taken during the two weeks en route, Brenilda began composing a short description of several of the more curious events that had occurred in each of the countries they visited. Eventually, the short letter evolved into a short story, and she was encouraged by her friends and family members to consider publication of her descriptive narrative.

This slender volume of both narrative and photographs reflects both the high and low points of an overland trek taken by Brenilda and her husband down through Central America to the Isthmus of Panama in the summer of 2009.
