... 99<br>degrees and there was a cold stream just next to it for cooling off. I<br>loved it. The drive there was quite nice as well. Its only permissable<br>by 4X4. Up and down rocks and slipping and sliding along muddy trails.<br>We crossed a streaming river...thank goodness for high clearance! And<br>we also crossed a rickety little suspension bridge...which was crazy!<br><br><br><br>Yesterday was reserved for running errands and doing homework. The<br>highlight of my day was going to ...

... We went to the local market for our fruits and veggies and I bought a head of lettuce, 4 tomatoes, 3 carrots and a cucumber for $1.40- you can't beat that! And it's all locally grown. There's actually quite a large organic movement happening here, kind of like in the states, which was kind of surprising to me. It must be trickling in from all the Americans who live here. But it all tastes good me! <br><br>We also went by Habla Ya, the Spanish school in ...

... house and live on a island for a certain amount of time you automatically become the owner of that land. So this old man, who was so generous to let us crash his hut, grows all of his own food in the back- corn, yucca and green beans- and fishes everyday for his protein. Pretty astounding. <br><br>After a home cooked meal of fresh fried fish and rice, we rested up for a few hours and headed out to hopefully see the turtles around midnight. The boat ride to the ...

... not entirely sure that we were on the right track, but ready to hike nonetheless. The path was shockingly muddy and both Al and I were swearing as we kept slipping into mud patches, mud seeping into my new North Face trainers... those babies will never be considered new again! The path was pretty overgrown, leading us to wonder if this was indeed the trail we were looking for, and had absolutely no signage. Now I know we are in the back and beyond, but surely a ...

Il giorno dopo ci svegliamo alle 6 del mattino, cambiamo ben 5 autobus<br>e attraversiamo mezzo Paese per arrivare sotto un autentico diluvio a<br>Boquete, nella provincia di Chiriquì. <br><br>Per la prima volta da quando<br>siamo arrivati a Panama fa fresco, quasi freddo ...

... Bronwen enjoyed the water and the weird feeling of looking around and seeing no sign of land. As evening approached on our 5th day we glided into the bay and dropped anchor in Puerto Lindo, Panama. Everyone got the hell off the boat as quickly as David's tiny dinghy would take us. When all was said and done, laughing about the ordeal over beers on dry land, all six of us agreed we were glad to have had the experience. Although ...

... story. I need to tell you the story of the very dark man riding a bicycle with a big basket, waving his finger at us to signify, NO-NO. We are off to Boquete this morning on the bus. I wanted to get something on the blog before we returned to Boquete s horrendous internet service. Wish this trip could be longer. We would go to Santa Catalina, Coiba Island, and an Embera village . . . always something new in the world of adventure!

Monday 19th January - Day 6 - At Sea I said I had started as I mean to go on so once again I was up early and off to the gym - I am determined to depart this cruise ship in the same clothes that I boarded with. After having completed my hour long routine it was time for breakfast, a shower followed by another talk by the bridge lecturer this time on the 'Drury' Convention. This completed, we then had another Cruise Critic meeting where as a group we were ...

... on what´s been going on back home. I´m also looking forward to seeing some old friends again that I met in Goa last time I visited. I´ll stop going on now, I think you can all tell how excited we are. This is goodbye to Central America from Wayneo Y Misheo. We have had a truly amazing time here and have many memories that we will both cherish for the rest of our lives. There has been good food and bad, sun and rain, blissful skies and ...
