No, North America is Canada down to Panama plus the Caribbean.
Central America is just a sub-region that encompasses all the smaller countries from Mexico's border with Belize and Guatemala to Colombia's border with Panama.
Now, Mexico down to the most southern tip of South America along with much of the Caribbean is considered Latin America.
I cannot believe the ratio of "us - coastal area" to "us - anywhere else". I that just Austin Texas? Or are there actually a bunch of flyover people here?
