I now have a bit of heat stroke headache coming on, a thunderstorm moving in off the ocean, and a two wet bathing suits in the bathroom, both of which I own. It's been a great day. Jess and I woke up about 8-ish, Panama time, and headed downstairs for a pretty good comp. breakfast. Okay, I woke up when the sun cracked through the curtains, lounged in bed, and then woke Jessica up at 8:15 am. No one has accused me of being a good roommate. A swim in the pool followed, and then we took a taxi into Bocas Town proper. We wandered, almost caught the Packer game on tv in one of the restaurants (too late - a couple of older guys had claimed the satellite tv for their game) and then wandered some more. I found some nifty deals in some of the booths set up in town, and then we went to a restaurant for lunch. I'll post the name later; I can't remember at this point. We sat down, and it took a good 8-10 minutes for the girl to bring us the menus. After being ignored some more, we left and went to the restaurant next door (The Buena Vista Bar and Grill) where we received excellent service, wonderful food and amazing cocktails. Oh, and the really hot guy we had been checking out happened to work there, and was hanging around. SO good-looking. A bit more wandering brought us to the grocery store where we picked up beer, coolers and water for our trip tomorrow. Then, back to the hotel for more sun beside the pool!
We're going on a boat/snorkel tour of the area. We were accosted on the street by a lovely lady who offered us a bargain even before we said hello back. For $2o, we're going to four different points, snorkelling, a trip to Red Frog beach, and a restaurant somewhere in the middle. We pay for our own food, and bring our own drinks, but they have a cooler and provide the snorkel equipment. It should be pretty cool. We leave at 9:30, and don't get back until 4:30. Sunscreen time!
It's only 7 pm here, and I'm tired. I love the fact that we didn't get rained on today. I think going back to Costa Rica will be very hard...back to work and rain. Rain and work. How many day until Christmas?
