In my last blog I talked about us making our visa run across the border to Panama. We left Friday and just got back late yesterday. In the beginning we planned on going to Puerto Viejo, a small town near the border on Costa Rica. Once we got the we instantly knew we did not want to stay there. It was already to late to continue to Panama, so we decided to stay one night and left at 12 the next morning. Crossing the border in to Panama did not go swiftly like it usually does, But in the end we made it through alright. Once we were in Panama we hopped on a shuttle that brought us to a boat dock, from there we were boated off to Bocas del Toros (which translates to "mouths of bulls"). Once we got to Bocas we then hopped in a Taxi to Pukalani Hostel were we stayed for the rest of our vacation.
After we arrived in Bocas the next day was our chill day!! All we did was sit around the pool and did nothing! We Talked with the owners of the Hostel and we got really close with them, they are the nicest people in the whole entire world! The next day the three of us rented bikes and rode them all the way in to town, it was about a 15 or 20 minute ride. It was to beautiful and nice. Once we got in to town we scoped out some stores, went and got virgin mojitos and ice cream. After ice cream we headed back to the hostel. Later on that day we hopped on a shuttle and headed to star fish beach. Once we got there we were pretty disappointed, we were expecting star fish every where, but there were only five. Apparently the all moved farther back because of all the people handling them. The beach was still beautiful and we enjoyed it very much.
The next day was AUBRIE'S BIRTHDAY!! She is officially 12! In the beginning of the day we just sat around, Aubrie could not decide what to do for her birthday. In the middle of the day Joshua the Hostel owners son brought us down to the beach. I have to admit I instantly fell in love lol. It totally sucked connecting with him the last day I was going to be there. When we got home from the beach, we went swimming in the pool for a little. We got out, because I had to go back Aubries birthday cake, It was kind of a mess but still delicious. After that we went back in the pool and that where we spent the most of our night. I forgot to mention before, that the hostel we stayed at was also a tattoo shop. SO while we spent our night in the pool, mom spent her night getting a tattoo. Later that night after tattoos were done, I got my nose pierced!!!! I am so happy!! It hurt a little and my eye's teared a little, but it was worth it! After that every one started going back to the rooms and Joshua and I were alone watching a movie. We had such a strong connection I hated leaving the next morning! I am definatly wanting to go back!! Until next time!!! BYE!!!
