We left Puerto Viejo for Panama last week. Crossing the border was weird because we had to walk all the way across a long bridge. It was us and the locals crossing the border. It was hot and we had 14 bags and suitcases to take with us. Fortunately, there were guys there to help us carry them.
On the other side of the border we had a van waiting to take us on a four hour drive to Boquete. The town on the border was called Sixaola. As we drove through we were glad we weren't staying there. We came across many banana farms as we left the area.
Boquete is a mountain town. The weather was cooler and in the town there were lots of flowers. They really like their flowers. We stayed at a house on a golf course. I'm a great putter!
We ventured out to see a coffee plantation. It was very interesting to see how coffee grows and to taste their coffee. From my perspective I am a coffee drinker. It wasn't a fancy facility. It was unique because Tito, the owner, built everything by himself using parts from different things, mainly old cars.

We are now on an island. There is a lot of wildlife here. We have spotted raccoons, monkeys and birds. When we first got here it was windy and the water was rough but now it is calm as can be. I haven't had a lot of sleep because of the bad A/C and the monkey greeting at 4:00 AM in the morning!
