A Little Beach Trip

Some friends from church own a little villa near a beach just west of Panama City

and invited us over to relax and enjoy the sun.

We had BBQ, swam in the pool, and at the end of the day stopped by the beach.

Monkey Island

We are lucky enough to have friends we knew from Mexico City here with us in Panama - it's a small ex-pat world! We are even extra lucky they are so cool and they take us out on their boat. On Labor Day we headed out on the Panama Canal to visit "Monkey Island". I had no idea how close we would come to these spider monkeys while feeding them bananas. It was unreal! James is still talking about "boat, monkeys, nanas" all the time. Thanks to Alethea and Curt for the amazing trip. I still can't believe we live here. =)
