How to Describe Perfection?

So, our trip to Panama exceeded all expectations. By a lot. To be honest, I did not have high hopes. I thought trying to find all transportation would be a huge hassel, we would all be tired, it would rain, we would stay in dingy places - I thought all the worst was coming. Wrong. It turns out it couldn't be easier - somehow it was all a piece of cake. Buses and taxis right there when we needed them - and when they weren't the people at where we were staying (Both the Purple House in David and Boca Brava) called taxis and arranged everything for us. People are so nice!

The Purple House was fun - internet! and talking to people from all around and shower and sleep. And everything Purple down to my (complimentary) coffee cup in the morning. Best of all, of course, was getting to our destination - the island of Boca Brava (don't ask me why it's called that). Soooo beautiful!! We take a water taxi to the island and go up the steps from the dock to our home for a day. None of us had exact change for the boat taxi, so the man working there said he would pay the man for us and just put it on our tab. We then had breakfast and amazing fruit drinks with milk (my favorite was papaya!). Then we decide to go on a day trip with snorkling. Lets just fill up the day right? Well, our boat taxi friend takes us to an amazingly beautiful beach on an island - it's only us and a couple from England and a girl from Germany who decided to join us. It's absolutely stunning. I can't wait for Laura and Komron to share their pictures!! So, we spend all day on this beach, in the water, climbing the rocks, exploring the forest - eating our packed lunch! Everything just so relaxed and wonderful.

Then we come back to our island and shower and have dinner. After a very tastey dinner with the breeze blowing, the music gets louder and they start dancing.. and we join in!! Oh, I haven't danced for such a long time. Then we all went out and sat on the dock for some good old bonding time. This morning was even more relaxed. We woke up, had some breakfast, and walked to another empty beach. This time, instead of playing with each other, we all chose our own spot - I read, others listened to music or explored. And we headed back to the boarder. And, this may not really be important, but to stay on this Island - room and all meals (5), less than $30.

Okay, time to go - I'll try and put up pictures sometime soon.

Life is good :)
