In the scramble to keep current with the action here in Panama I almost forgot the BB...no not the Blog Boy, but the Birthday Boy! Sesenta y dos! Holy crap...and no I'm not translating that for you-figure it out on your own. Birthday was our first full day after checking and we went for a great exploratory walk to start the day. Probably should've turned around here...but we had to see what was around the bend after the paved road stopped. Super glad we kept going! Made it to Paki Point where the surfer dudes and dudettes were carving up the waves. Glad to see the hotel (green roof) and bar on the water on the return. When we got back to the room the maid was still there and also a man with a ladder...odd, but we waited a bit then went back down by the water until we thought they'd be done. Here's what we found when we opened the door... Happy birthday in live flowers, and champagne and birthday flan as well! Super cool! Realized why that guy had the ladder. Also got to spend a wonderful day by the pool with this pink-toed beauty. We then took a $4 cab ride into Bocas town to have dinner at a small Caribbean style grill called Octo to finish a fantastic birthday. [Thanks for all of well-wishes for this ole man from family and friends--I appreciated hearing from all of you!] We found a couple of cool places in this area outside of "downtown" Bocas, and went to happy hour at Skully's Flying Pirate place the day after BD. Skully does a little bit of everything from having 5 rooms on the water, housing 3 different independent food shops in his place, a mini store to renting ATV's and bicycles. He's a character and his bar always has something going on. After getting to know Skully, and a couple of buckets of beer, we headed out and down the street a little ways to Ciao Pizza...rumored to have some of the best pizza on the island. It didn't disappoint! We also met some Marine biologists who joined us at our table. Well we are certainly enjoying Caribbean Panama so far. Always about 80 degrees F, been mostly sunny, but some clouds lately that have NOT ruined any day. Thinking about taking the hotel kayaks out for a spin in the ocean...check in later!
Pura Vida!
