All good things must come to an end

So I am barely sure how this happened but I am flying back home tomorrow morning. Talk about a TIME LAPSE!!! The past few days have been pure joy, the best way to wrap up a beautiful experience. We woke up in Boquete Saturday morning and had fantastic coffee, bagels, and eggs at a local cafe. There we met up with a few British fellows we met during the death slog up Volcan Baru. During our first meeting, they were on their way down being miserable, and we were on our way up also being miserable in pretty steady cold rain. Seeing them in the coffee shop was much more pleasant and we realized we were planning to go to the same area later that day. We took a bus together to David, and packed 5 into a truck taxi bound for Boca Chica. Our cabbie was AWESOME and bought the whole cab beers to drink on the voyage, and we got a pretty fair deal out of it as well. We arrived to Boca Chica, which means ¨mouth of the girl¨and took a water taxi over to Isla Boca Brava and arrived at one of the coolest places I have ever stayed. Imagine an open air hotel with terraced platforms overlooking the mighty Pacific with multiple islands strewn about.

We relaxed the first day, ate great food and had drinks with out British friends Roger, Ben, and Steve well into the night. The next morning the five of us chartered a boat for some deep'sea fishing. After a one hour ride we dropped our lines and within minutes Alex caught a 4 foot needlefish. Throughout the day all but Roger caught something as he was seasick and or hungover. Mike caught a sweet grouper that was about 2 feet, and I caught a 1.5 foot AmberJack that was very tasty. We ate all of the fish, and found out that the needlefish has blue bones!!

To take a break from fishing we hopped aboard a desolate white sand beach in which we were the only visitors. We went snorkeling for a while and were able to find some great colorful fish. At the end of the night the local crazies showed up and we mainly laughed at them as they ranted about meeningless topics, and bought us drinks. Normally I never mind anyone buying me a drink but I was very happy when this crew rolled out with their drunken captain from Bermuda.

Today was a lackluster day in which we said goodbye to our friends and spent most of the day sitting on buses. We are back in Panama City, and are boarding a flight tomorrow around 830 in the morning. I should be home in the evening so give me a ring, I will hopefully post some great photos tomorrow as well!
