"Welcome to the Jungle"
... spirits we are, we said ptooey to that, and took off...being obviously the oldest person at that lodge, not only was it a race, but now I had to beat them 20-something slackpackers too. :)
The first challenge was a labyrinth cut out of the jungle. We had to find our way to the center to get our next clue; after about 25 minutes, we solved it, and the next clue told us to "find a clue at Alice's second portal." Now, being an Alice fan, I knew that her ...

... the fridge. Pouring boiling water on the chilled grind releases all sorts of nasty acids.
- Beans only last one year from roasting, and 6 months from grinding. If it's in your cupboard and is older than that, bin it!

Panama ah oh ahh ohh ohh!
... House Bar that Joey and Veronica are running. Darts, Ping-Pong, Pool, Foos Ball, and $1 rum and cokes along with Joeys Chilli Cheese Nachos/Hot Dogs=YUM and FUN! We also went white water tubing, you couldn't do this on a tube in the states, but were in Panama and it was awesome. The rapids range from class 1 to class 3, go BAJA MACHO! As we have been here Joey and Veronica have let us be a part of their world. They got a real good thing going on here, a good circle of ...
