Beach

We left the YWAM base after a busy week. It felt like it was a whirl wind of planning learning which was why we were there. It was amazing to see the difference in our whole family when we first spotted the ocean. We all came alive. We all got a new energy that is so fun to see. We started talking about what we wanted to see and do and laughed about how much fun it was going to be. After a long day traveling on a bus for 81/2 hours it was great to have some excitement again. We dropped our bags and headed for the beach to play in the water before it got dark. Also we needed to find something to eat. Dean is o.k. with food on the side of the road but me and the kids are a little more cautious about what we eat. We also had to make Miranda happy and find a coconut and eat it. That was what she wanted to do the most.
The next morning we started the day at the beach finding more coconuts to eat and also to take a walk along the beach rain forest jungle. The path takes you along the beach and in and out of the jungle. We took so many pictures along the way it was so beautiful.
That night it was sooo hot. We lay in bed a sweat. It was so nice to finally get out of bed in the morning and go out into the breeze. But unfortunately it was raining. It would have been a nice light rain other than we had to hike our 5 backpacks to the bus stop and then change buses 2 more times and take a half hour boat ride to get to Panama. Tomorrow you will hear.....the rest of the story.
