Panama Day 5 - Part One!

On Friday, we had the entire day to kill, since our flight wasn't until 3am that night (yuck!)  So we slept in again, had breakfast, hung around the room watching tv, and then headed out to see what else we could see in Panama!  


We started by tracking down one of Cloud's stores in the city!  Ross (Blu's cousin who lives in Panama full-time running the Panama side of the business) wasn't around, but we tried to speak Spanish to the employees, and Blu left a message for Cloud, who will be there next week!  ;)
We then headed on a 3 hour trip down the coast - the Golden Arches were calling for lunch!
Our destination was El Valle de Anton - a gorgeous inhabited volcano town about 3 hours out of Panama City!  There was hiking and waterfalls, so we headed up to hike the Sleeping Indian!  As we were looking for where the trail started, a group of kids yelled at us to park at their house "Yo Watch Car!" and one of them said he would lead us up the trail!
So off we went, with Juan and Carlos leading the way...straight uphill!!


I was having my doubts right about now!


It just kept going...and going!!  


And going...

At this point, I realized how out of shape I am!

Please shoot me.


Smiles when we finally reached the top! 

I'll just be sitting here for awhile!
Our two little leaders, cousins Carlos and Juan!


He made it!  This hill is officially called Cerra El Sille.


The panoramic view of the town down in the valley!

The way down will be much easier...so they said!

Now that's a happy face - because we reached the bottom!  (And Jorge was still watching our rental car!)
From here, we left our posse of kids and headed to the edge of town to check out the Chorro Las Mosas waterfalls!  They did not disappoint!
