Buenas everyone!
Our trip in Panama is coming to an end and what better way to end it than with a playa day? Before the fun started, we woke up at 7:15 am to head over to La Bruja and enjoy a nice grilled cheese sandwich and fruit from our wonderful cook Angie. Today was filled with music, laughs, and pictures (shown) that were taken from the previous days on our journey in Panama.
At 9:00 am we left for the beach, which was an hour’s drive away. Arrival at the beach was at 10:00 am and after a short briefing from our lifeguards, it was time to swim in the waves and explore the beach. I personally enjoyed swimming through and riding waves, although I wish I had a surfboard with me. Lunchtime came around at 12:00pm but we had a surprise for one of our glimpsers, as their birthday is the day we leave. We sang happy birthday and enjoyed snacks along with our lunch of chicken fingers, grilled chicken, grilled fish, or fish sticks. Beach fun continued until 3:00 pm when we hopped on the bus back to Hotel Esperanza, where we showered and packed to get ready for our trip back to Panama City tomorrow.
We´re having a nightly meeting to wrap up our experiences of these past 12 days. Unlikely friends were made along the way. We laughed, cried, hugged, and high-fived!

P.S. I can´t wait to see my puppy Leibe
Hi Erick! Hope you had a great trip and excited to have you back! (sorry this comment is so awkward I just don’t know how to say something that sounds natural lol)
I want to apologize for not leaving comments throughout your trip, I meant to but life got in the way. Your mural is great!
Sounds like a blast! Wish we could be there with all of you enjoying the beautiful beach. Thaddeus, Hope you enjoyed the sun but didn’t get too much of it on your back! Have a great last day, everyone!
Wow, what a wonderful day. We can’t wait to see you!!! I know Liebe misses you too. So proud of what you all have accomplished. See you soon.
-Love, Mom
That sure looks like a lovely day! I love a beach day! Wish I was there too!
Such a fantastic adventure! So thankful we were about to live vicariously through the photos and blogs! Thanks to the adult and student leaders each day for an exceptional trip and cultural experience. Happy early birthday to sasha and zadie!
I’m sure it’s sad to have the trip come to an end, but I’m so excited to see you, Dylan! I hope the beach was fun and you didn’t get too much sun. Love, mom
What a trip you’ve all had! It has been a delight to read your blogs over the last couple of weeks and hear your perspectives about the experience.
When you get this comment, you’ll likely be participating in your last nightly meeting. Soak up the moment, CH1B. This is a time in your life that you’ll always remember – you’re in a memory! Make the most of it and end your journeys on a high note with your new friends and leaders.
Get home safely!
Big love,
Thea
