When I last visited the Indian Village at Mi Pueblito, I had the enjoyable experience of meeting a Kuna tourist guide. Her English was impeccable and her knowledge of Kuna traditions and culture were beyond expectations. She told me she had relatives in Florida and traveled frequently to the United States. That explains her almost perfect English.
I was so impressed with her, that I asked if I could take her photograph for my blog. She assented with a beautiful Kuna smile. This is the picture of this polished multilingual young woman working as a tourist guide in Mi Pueblito. Here we go.
