Thanksgiving Break is here! And I have returned to Boquete, a small town tucked into the mountains, about 7 hours from Panama City. Four teachers and I, loaded up our suitcases and in the spirit of adventure, took the long bus ride to David and a chicken bus to Boquete. The town greeted us as usual with pouring down rain and cool winds, and we were elated to step inside our warm cabin of a hotel with its couches perfectly positioned next to the fireplace and a shelf of books. This is vacation!
We even had the privilege of going to the Rock Restaurant for jazz night and a gourmet style Thanksgiving dinner.
Mostly our time here has been relaxing, reading, exploring the marketplaces and little festivities the town is having for the Panama holidays; however, yesterday was a different story!
We headed up to Boquete Tree Trek (where I had done my coffee tour before) and met our friendly guides for our Zipline Canopy Tour. For Esther and Katy, it was their first time ever ziplining, and they were amazing! Despite the drizzling rain and cold temperatures, we had a blast zipping over breathtaking views of river rapids, coffee farms, and waterfalls. It was definitely a bonding experience as we cheered each other on crossing the 70 meter to 410 meter long wires.
Por supuesto, our zipline tour was followed by a coffee tour and the chance to warm up again. It was so fun to share this experience together; we even ran into two teacher families from the school!
