WARNING: long post with lots of pictures
Where were we... OH YA!
After lunch we set off to find SLOTHS while our tummy's settled.
Oh my heck! Its a sloth!!!
I was more excited about them than the dolphins !
(You might have to make the picture bigger to see it,but it was there!)
Then we went to the best beach ever!
Red Frog Beach!
(whitest pair in Panama)
Ok, story behind this beach is..Its a public beach, but to get there you have to go on a half mile dirt path from the dock to the beach. I guess the guy who owns the land that the path crosses over got wise and decided to charge a fee to use the path. SO to get to the beach you have to pay this guy $2. The money doesn't go to the beach or the land, just straight to the pocket of this guy. LAME, but worth it in the long run. (he also yelled at us for getting off the path to take this picture.)
On our way to the beach we ran into 3 little boys with these HUGE leaves.
They opened them up and they had little red frogs!
I got so excited I asked if I could take their pictures and they started yelling "$5!! $5!!".
Psssshhh! ya right! I handed each one a quarter. No smiles in my picture, HA
This is Richard from England, a friend we made in our tour group.
He did not get the memo, because he paid full price for his photo.
It is quite a beautiful beach.
It was my first time experiencing warm water at a beach,
and it was surprisingly warm even with a storm coming in.
Remember the tour boat driver, Leo, I mentioned in my last Panama post? This is where he comes in.The whole time we are at Red Frog, he is trying to talk to Becky. "Rrrrebbecca, (rolling the R), do you like turtles? I can take you to an island tonight with lots of sea turtles" "Rrrrebbecca, do you like dancing, we could go to the discotheque tonight". Poor Becky, hahaha!GRATUITOUS TOURIST PICTURES!
So that was our Monday. Needless to say we did not hang out with Leo, but man he was persistent. After our tour we grabbed the best $1 empanadas, made it to our room and fell asleep after the sun set.
Still more to come: Tuesday and Wednesday where we find another beach, and Melissa gets her own suitor!
