I ventured outside Costa Rica with a group of girls for the last weekend in February to Bocas del Toro in Panama. That weekend we had an extra day off school and all piled into the school bus to go down to Panama. We were on the Caribbean side of the country and it took around 6 hours to get to where we need to be to cross the border. With as many girls as we had on the trip of course we were late getting to the border...this was not a good thing to have happen because we also were trying to make it to a ferry on time in Panama to take us to Bocas. We get near the boarder in Limon and it was flooded-time to get out of the bus and take a taxi-enter the boarder-cross a bridge-miss the ferry, take a small speed boat instead...
vale la pena-Panama was a beautiful place and we stayed on an island off of the mainland (which I later regretted, stay on the mainland!) and we had a wonderful weekend
Angela and I took a taxi boat to the mainland to have dinner Sunday night and when we went back to catch the boat...there were none...it made for an eventful night! Times like those you really learn about what you can handle and how strong you are! :) It was a great weekend...
We did get stuck on the way out of Panama because some of use did not have proof that we were actually leaving Costa Rica at some point when we returned...it is a good thing to carry a copy of your flight itinerary with you!!!!!!
Fun fact about Panama-they use U.S. currency! They paper currency is from the states and the coins are produced in Panama :)
