Separation anxiety

I wasn´t sure what to do without my sister. My cousin Charlie is getting married this weekend in Chicago. I dropped my sister off at the airport this morning, the Panama government won´t allow me to leave the country without the car, so I am stuck here missing the fun. I tried to head straight for the docks to catch a boat back to the island Taboga, where we visited a few days earlier, however, an accident on the highway clogged traffic enough to allow me to watch as the only boat of the day pulled out in front of me. Not having a plan to do much else, I caught up on some things in town, and caught up on some reading. Not being a big reader and all, it took me a while to catch up. I caught the boat the next day and continued my beach bum ways for a couple of days. I didn´t even take my big camera with me and just enjoyed the tranquility. When I got back I was lucky to have a visitor in my sister´s stead, Mary. My good friend Paul´s big sister. She is traveling with her friend Alex and will only be here for the weekend, after spending a week in Bocas del Torro. It was great to see someone and have a night out. We found a great place with my favorite, sheesha. We laughed and shared memories of when she was a good influence for her brother and I, somehow I don´t think the influence took. It is good to hear about news from back home and can´t wait to get back and enjoy all the changes. For now I am going to relax for a couple more days until I pick up my much missed, and favorite, sister. Sorry the blog is a little boring, I am in Bocas right now wondering why I am inside.
