Brothers Home, Cartagena Here

 I know it`s been a little while since my last post. Quite frankly, I really haven`t felt like posting. That is mainly due to the fact that I`ve been more interested in meeting people and spending time with Dan and Ed.
Here`s a brief recap of what has gone down in the last week:

We've Landed, Bocas del Toro

Hey yall,
We are in Bocas del Toro now. We left Boquete this morning at 8, caught a school bus to David (1hour), another small bus (with a dog in a bag on top of the bus) going through Amiente (4 hours, with bathroom/snack stop), taxi, water taxi, and bam! We're here. I'll get to Boca after Boquete.

In Panama, Specifically Boquete

Hello everyone,
My brothers and I made it to Boquete today. We had a little hang-up leaving Pavones. Both Ed and I screwed up our alarms and we "missed" the bus at 5AM. I say missed, because we weren´t at the stop, but judging by our experience trying to catch the next bus I´d say we didn´t miss much. After realizing that we missed the bus, we went back to our hostel (Carols) and slept till check out time. The next bus was supposed to come at 12:30, but we knew it wasn´t going to make it into town cause of the road being washed out. We walked up to where the water had washed out the road and there was a crew working on it. One of them recognized us from the night before and told us in Spanish that there was no way the bus was going to come down that far. Thankfully, for only $10 their buddy would take us to the bus stop that the bus is supposed to go to. My Spanish is lacking, and communication has been really fun in Pavones because there aren´t to many English speakers out there. In particular, the language barrier was fun today, because we couldn´t tell if we were going to get out of Costa Rica.
