perfect day

So easy!

Today we awoke to torrential rains. We drank coffee on the deck and waited out the storm. Willi and I than rented bicycles for cheap and rode 15k to a essentially private beach. We captured great photos of us flipping off of a log in the ocean.

The ride was really fun and we saw plenty of beautiful birds and frogs. Sadly on the way back Willi's bike broke catastrophically. For whatever reason all the gears would spin but not spin the back tire. We ran into a random local on the side of his property and he beat the crap out of the bike with a hammer. Somehow unknowingly with my vast knowledge of bicycles and their parts this temporarily alleviated the problem. We are pretty sure the man just randomly hitting the bike with a hammer and having it work again was a miracle.

It occurred again and again but we eventually made it back to bocas town. The weather turned back into torrential downpour but we had a fantastic ride home, fun at happy hour, and wonderful dinner. Willi convinced me during happy hour to have a tequila suicide, which is a free shot of tequile accompanied with snorting a line of salt and getting lime squeezed into your eye! Not very pleasant at all but it makes for a great story. We then had dinner on a boat and it was cheap, delicious, and everything that we wanted. It truly was another beautiful day in paradise and it is sad that not everyone could be here for it
