The travels continue

Hello from Panama!!
Everything is fantastic and I am thinking about staying in this amazing country for a very long time. I spent about 5 days in Bocas del Toro, a delicious Caribbean beach town that definitely started my trip off right. I was alone but met so many awesome people...not to mention the dolphins, starfish, snorkeling, deserted beaches, gorgeous scenery, perfect tanning weather, and very fun bars. It was wonderful. I then took an overnight bus to Panama City, where I met up with Evya that night. We have been having a great time in the city...i took him to the canal and other areas i went to last time i was here, and it was really nice to be able to find my way around and know where i was and what i was doing. We also ate dinner at Hooters one night, since I had never been before. Absolutely hysterical...and the wings really are so yummy!! We then went to San Blas. I actually have no words to describe those 3 days...it was without a doubt the most beautiful place I have ever been in my life. Picture an island in the middle of the caribbean, smaller than a football field. Throw in some wooden huts, hammocks, palm trees, coconuts, white sand and perfectly clear water. It was that idyllic fantasy island that doesnt really exist...except that it does exist, and i found it, and was there!!! Just amazing. An indigenous group, the Kuna, live on the islands, and it was great to speak to them and learn about their way of life...they are fiercely independent and have such interesting lifestyles....it was paradise and heaven all rolled into one. If anyone is looking for a great vacation spot...its relatively cheap and really a once in a lifetime experience. Even though I want to go back lots of times!!! I cant wait to show you all pictures of the island!

Now we are in David, a city near the Costa Rican border. A few days here and in a nearby area, Boquete, to be outdoorsy, and then back to Bocas to end our time in Panama.

Love and kisses!! Keep in touch everyone!!
