We made it! We made the trip from Puerto Viejo to David by hitching a ride with some Canadian, hailing a cab and bartering him down, walked the 100year old bridge (with Homer the happy and helpful pan-handler) that separates the two countries, nearly melted waiting for the Panamanian customs agent to finish lunch, hailed another cab, hitched a bus ride, hailed another cab, and here we are! It is amazing to think that just this morning we awoke on the Carribean coast and this evening we are only 20 minutes from the Pacific. The drive over the mountains was breath taking. We were so high up at times we were driving through clouds, and at other times the clouds were below us in the valleys.
We are off to Soloy in the morning, and will probably be away from the net for a while. We bought a phone today, and if you are on our top 2 list, you will receive the number tonight ;)
Tonight we are crashing at the Purple House Hostel in David. Our hearts are still breaking over leaving Tuis, but we are trying to enter Panama with an open mind and heart, trying not to be biased towards our new family in Costa Rica.

Thanks for the phone#. We love reading about your travels. You guys look so happy there. Is the weather really hot? How is the food? Can hardly wait for your next blog. Take care. We love you
I can't believe how you guys have to travel out there! I just assumed it would be more of a group thing, and this stuff would have been more arranged! Good luck, and be careful!
Very true quote (fr. host mother). All over the world we are all the same, we're people. However, the lifestyles vary. My 3 weeks vacation has been put in perspective.
Hey it's so good to hear what you're up too. We think and pray for you guys often. We've been showing our pics from the vacation and we LOVE telling about our time with you in your Montreal home.
You guys are awesome!! Praying for you.
sitting in the sunroom with Tim and he is of course wondering what the new GPS reading is! Glad to hear that you got the phone... makes you seem so much closer to home. Love you. YPOM
