Well, we left Panama City about 11 am yesterday, arrived here at about 6 pm. Made a few stops along the way, one stop was at a roadside bread store? That's not a real accurate description, they sold fruit drinks, and some other yummy looking things, as well as lotto type tickets. I Bought a loaf of their famous cheese bread and a loaf of crusty kalamata bread, both were great. We stopped in Santiago and bought some groceries then bought some chicken when we got to Las Lajas.
Arrived at the house and we're greeted by the caretaker for the two houses and condos that are here, a very nice gal does this and showed us the house. We have 3 bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms, a living room, dining room, and kitchen all in a great room concept. It's very comfortable and we had fun playing 6 handed pinochle at the table last night.
2nd night in a row that we had no problems sleeping!
This morning had a leisurely cup of tea while reading my Bible on the veranda looking out over the ocean and feeling very blessed, we had a scrambled egg breakfast afterward before going out in the waves. I surprised myself by venturing out into the waves further and further, it is shallow for quite a ways, it was a blast and the water is very warm! Absolutely NOT like the Oregon coast with its frigid water that's painful to get into.
will post more later along with proof that I was in the ocean!

p.s. Jonathan, I will be posting more animal photos as we can, just saw a raccoon out the window! We love you and wish you, Orin, and Marcus were here with us having fun. Xoxox

Wow! Sounds like a dream :) We can't wait for pictures. Jonathan is hoping for some local animal life photos, Turtles, fish, lizards? Glad your all safe and getting some R&R.

It's so much fun to see these pictures! I'll be sure to show them to Micah tonight. I'm sure he'd love to see some pictures of lots of animals, and his Gram-B and Papa too, if possible. :) Have a wonderful time!

Yikes! I took Spanish in high school. WARNING! Possible presence of crocodiles in the area! Jonathan got pretty excited :)

Jonathan is now officially obsessed with lizards, lol. He's having me search the internet for pictures he can color and asking if he can have one as a pet instead of a dog :)
