Book Description
Excerpt from Prowling About Panama The fine art of prowling may be achieved, but is more often a gift of those to the manner born. Professional globe-trotters are not prowlers. They are Often the victims of their own sense of superiority. Personally conducted tours are little help to real prowling, and professional guides reduce the sight-seer to a machine for receiving canned information with gaping mouth, while with his free hand he extracts tips from his reluctant pocket.
