More Panama

On Wednesday we took off in two cars to spend the afternoon swimming in the Pacific at the Pipas Beach Resort--a favorite stop for the Page Bethels.

The water was sublimely warm, the waves almost non-existent.  So relaxing to float away the time. 

Perfect! 

Serious sand digging by the grand kids. 

 

Serious--and relaxing--Mojito drinking. 

Then a 2-hour drive up into the mountains, seeing far-away lightening on the way.--exciting to we Burbankians as we so seldom get rain, much less thunderstorms.

 

Arriving in the the town of El Valle and to our rental--a lovely, large villa where we sat out on the veranda 

and, yes, listened to the rain.
