Yesterday was painful, and today all my bruises are starting to show. I did end up flying over the handlebars once, sliding down the trail, and wiping out again close to the end of the trip. To be fair, i was riding on a womans bike that was 6" too small for me:) I jokingly asked Paul where the closest hospital was, and he replied: "Right next to that shovel over there!". In all seriousness, you can't get injured where we were, way out in the jungle, as the closest clinic would be at least 6-7 hours away. There is no LifeFlight here, only a horse. Horses by the way are $200 here in Panama!
I don't think we will be climbing Barú on this trip. Definitely the next time we come. We also found out that the minimum age for the zip line is 5. Jacob is sad, but it was $60 per person, so I am glad to save the dough. Living in Panama helps you get a better perspective on spending money. It will be difficult to pay more than a couple dollars for a armful of veggies back in Vermont.
Hard to believe our trip is almost over. 1 more week in Volcán, then to the coast for a couple days before we head to Panama city for our flights back home. We also have some news that we will share with everyone soon:)
