The Traveler: Teri Joyce of Minneapolis.

In the early morning, "campers and beachcombers greet the new day after a night of music, laughter and bonfires at the nearby campground," Joyce wrote in an e-mail. She and Jim Joyce spent a weekend at Las Lajas Beach Resort, near the small town of Las Lajas on Panama's Pacific coast. Their visit was part of a longer vacation in Boquette, a town in the country's lush mountain highlands. Joyce used a Samsung Galaxy J7 phone to get this shot. She said, "Las Lajas Beach resort was the perfect place to relax with a pool, bar, great food and a cat or two curled up on the door mat."
