Panama!!!!

Well, we were finally tired of the rain every day since leaving Canada. So we skipped the country and headed off to Panama. We had no real idea of where to go so we picked an isalnd(because we love islands) and we landed the boat on a very small island called Bastimentos Panama. I know nothing about it so maybe try googling it and let me know. What I do know is the town is tiny. There are no street, no cars, I think there are no phones but cell phones. There is 1 computer. Thats why I can bolg. When we got here it didn't work so we couldn't email and mom was a bit worried. But all is well now. Other than the rain not stopping we are having fun. Today we rented a boat for the day and went to dolphin bay and watched tonnes of dolphins that came right up to the boat. Then we went snorkling and saw some of the brightest coral I have ever seen. The colours were stunning. Purples and yellows and blues and filled with little fish. It was great! Then we went for lunch at a restraunt in the middle of nowhere and had fish and rice and porkchops for lunch. Then we snorkled some more and trolled a bit. Colton and Dean finally got to fish. They each caught a small fish and now their hooked. They left again as soon as we got back. Dean took a boat to the next island for more tackle and bait and off they went. They got the owner of our places son to take them. So Miranda and I had some blog time. Miranda says HI!!! Tomorow we have the scuba guy booked and we are going to finish our certification. Then we will hang out here for a few days or maybe check out another island and we will fly back to San Jose and save ourselves a bit of travelling time. We want to check out Costa Rica's Pacific side so the flight will take us back to central Costa Rica. Hope that all our friends in Mb. are doing ok with the cold weather. We miss you all. Email us and tell us something we don't know.We miss hearing about whats going on with you.
If you notice I miss out on letters sometimes its because the keyboard here is missing stuff and everything is often in Spanish.
