Panama!!! :)

So since I was only allowed to be in the country for 90 days off to Panama went the Portantorchas group! It was pretty darn awesome! So nice there :) Took a mercedes benz bus there, that was nice not to have to use the micro buses and we were alltogether so that made it even better! stopped at the border, and went through customs and all those fun things! luckily we got through farily quick :) some years it took like 2 hrs to get through them we got lucky plus we were ahead of schedule so that made it nice! but it was super humidy hot there that it seemed like a lot longer. We had to go across a sketchy bridge to get to the Panama side. Pics will be up soon so you can see how sketchy it really was. Big holes and cracks...oh it was fun stuff :P Panama has the most sketchy bathrooms ever! sheesh...really didnt feel overally safe using them but hey there bathrooms! lol. Finally made it through customs and than we were in Panama and we took a boat to the island we were staying at. Boca del Toros it was called, and that was nice to be in a boat on the carribean ocean feeling the wind and sun on you! but it acutally wasnt overlly tooo sunny the first day we were there but it was still hot and humid! defintly easily to get burned! Got to the island and I was in room 202 with kiley, adri and steph :) it was a party! so fun! and the rooms were really really nice, i loved them and they had air conditioning which was schweet! and we had nothing planned for that day when we arrived there so we just hung out around the town and shopped and saw the scenery and what not. The next day we had breakfast and than went onto a boat and went to various places. We went snorkling, and to a beach and it was sooo gorgeous. loved it! but to be honest, i thought belize had better scenery under the water than the spots we went too but it was still gorgoues and i would defintly go there again!! And i took lots of precautions to not get burned and that day turned out to be a success, never got burned so that was nice! and after we just chilled and hung out, shopped, visited all that fun stuff and got a phone call from the guys saying some really random stuff...gotta love pranks like that :p but than some of the girls(not me, i was just watching) did some stuff to them, nothing major or hardcore just i dont really know how to explain it, you had to be there but it was fun none the less. 3nd day we went out again, went to this area where there was jellyfish and we got to hold some, that was sooo cool, they felt soo werid and we went snorkling in an area where they were and some ppl got stung. luckily i didnt! i was quite glad for that. we also went to starfish beach and there were soo many starfishes and white sands and clear blue waters. so awesome. and i got to hold a bunch of starfishes and that was fun! and than we went to a place for lunch and hung out there and than back to boca del toros and the rest of the day was chill and relaxed and didnt do much. everyone was super tired and what not. than we were leaving the nexxt morning so after breakfast we left back on the boat and went back to the bus which was parked on the land and drove to the border crossing again, and once again we got lucky(thank you god) and managed to get through pretty darn quick was sweet. had to walk on the sketchy bridge again and use a sketchy washroom(there was a couple of them on this trip) but it was all good and made it a more fuller experience! and than we drove back to Port and had supper and now im writing this and deciding if i want to put up pics tonight or not. i dont actually know. lol . but ya thats panama, totally awesome and most defintly go there again in a heartbeat!!! :D cheers! i would reccomend it to anyone. o ya we got invited to a lot of parties, every night, same ones and some ppl even got offered drugs, ya it might be a vaction area but certainly has lots of secular things on it. ooo we also had a devo time and meet some of the locals and they came to join us these couple guys and that was sweet, good to meet them and what not. ya, thats about it. tomorow heading off to Pica's church and than going out for lunch with the other ppl that are going to his church so that will be nice. im stoked! cheers once again!
