The place we're staying in has a lot of fruit trees. This was actually an orange
We set off today to do a little exploring. The Kingdom Hall is right up the road. It took us about 45 minutes to walk, up hill, to the hall. But the weather is so temperate that it was no problem. Just a little getting used to the altitude... breathing was a little hard. I'm sure it was the altitude.
The Kingdom Hall is so cute. I can't wait to see the inside.
Then we took a cab into downtown Boquete. It cost .60ea to go about 5 miles, up and down, up and down. Well worth the money!
The town is nice, and really easy to get around. It's quite a melting pot. People of all nationalities retire here, as well as the local people who work very hard. And the Indians have a strong presence. Primarily the Ngobe Indians, but some Kuna as well. They sell their wares in shops and in the market, as well as just little make-shift stands. But they don't like their picture taken.
We made it to a back-alley market. It was great. And the people really seemed to appreciate our lame attempts at Spanish, and they were happy to help. Lechugge: lettuce/ ajo: garlic/ peppinos: cucumbers/ coco: coconut, etc. It was fun.
There are a lot of cafes. this one wants to be Starbucks!
your trip is looking fabulous so far! i am amazed at how cheap it is - 60 cents for a 5 mile taxi??? it's $1 here just to go around town. and yes, you DEFINITELY need to always have toilet paper :) can't wait to see all of the rest of your adventures!!!
