Two weekends ago my friends, Kendal and Courtney came to visit me here in Panama. Good times! I got to play tourist and show them around, and we checked out the Panama Canal, the metropolitan park which is a forest in the city with monkeys (which we didn´t see), Casco Viejo, Calle Uruguay, and the Isla Contadora. Their visit was also accompanied by lots of good food and cold beverages.
Unfortunately, the first three days of their visit was accompanied by almost nonstop rain, the most rain I´ve seen in Panama over a three day period. While this didn´t prevent us from going out and doing stuff it meant that our forays were a little soggier than normal. It also meant that on Saturday our flight to Isla Contadora was canceled after we spent all day in the airport waiting for it due to the rain.
However, on Sunday the sun finally came out and we managed to fly to the nice beaches of Isla Contadora. In addition to laying out in the sun at the beach and watching the geckos eat things at night we also went snorkeling (awesome) and whale watching (also awesome).
All in all a good time.
In other news, my trip here is starting to wrap up. I only have four days of work left and I return to the US in just over a week. My only remaining Panama plans are to finish up my internship and to spend the weekend at the beach in Bocas del Toro, which I have heard is both cool and fun.
