Beginning Adventures

So it's been a crazy couple of days as you can tell by reading Nick's previous post. But this will give you a little bit of a better idea of what we've been up to! We arrived here in Panama on Friday around 3:30 and drove back to Casa Paraiso where we are staying this week. It's an amazing, beautiful place, later that night we decided to make a spaghetti dinner for everyone. Saturday we woke up and drove out to La Guaira once we arrived at the hotel and got into our rooms we jumped into a boat and and were taken to an island that was secluded called Mamey, we were able to see monkeys, that posses for us, on our way out to the island! While we were at the island we jumped in the water which was clear blue, and Zachary and Nick swam a little too far as you can read in Nick's last post! We also got to have a lot of great experiences there on the island, Liz found a sponge and sea urchin, we stood on rocks while getting hit by waves, and everyone tried fresh coconut! After our crazy experiences we headed back to our hotel where we played some very heated games of Crazy 8s.  This morning we rode to the town of Portobelo and looked around the town to see the ruins and black Jesus in the town.  We then rode to a little place to get lunch where we went in the water again. We all ordered different foods and tried them all from shrimp to octopus, but it was all amazing! We then headed back to the house to relax and make dinner again. Again we participated in a late night game of crazy 8s and then Jordan introduced us to cut throat Crazy 8s!

Over all we have had an amazing time both days and had some memorable moments! And tomorrow starts the hard work when we will be joining with Matt and Misty to view the location for their Special Needs orphanage and talk with them about any questions they may have!

-Risky Business!
