e finally got back on the road again, heading, that´s right, North! After picking up Laura at the airport, I got caught up on all the stories from the wedding, and after hearing some, I am kind of glad I wasn´t there! No, a little homesick hearing all the stories of family having a good time. After getting pulled over for speeding next to a church, that is a serious crime here. Luckily the officer gave us a regalo (gift) and let us go. After a night stay to split up the drive, we arrived in the growing town of Boquete.
A small mountain town primarily for farming and the true outdoor hub of Panama. We found our way to a cheap place to stay well equipped with a crazy owner. He drew us a map that carried onto two sheets of paper that was completely illegible. With our new map we decided to head out and see one of the coffee plantations. We had a great tour of the farm and got to see the process. Ambition set in and we decided to make an attempt on the local dormant volcano where you can see the Pacific and Caribbean oceans at once.
With ten hours ahead of us, we started before light, and headed up. With the clouds rolling in, and me being old, we didn´t quite make it to the top. We decided to try and head down and get to Bocas in order to not have to spend the night before getting to the coast. The drive was wet to say the least. A quick stop to promote damns, hooray for damns
