Just a quick note to let everyone know we are finally home. We will post more tomorrow about our final leg of the trip, the great, and not so great, and how bad it hurts to run with 35lbs of backpack on your sunburned back through a whole airport! See you soon.

Snorkeling, getting ready to come home
Yesterday we went on a snorkeling trip, and got to see a number of different sights. First off was dolphin bay, where we saw lots of dolphins, including a mother and baby.
Next we went to a snorkeling spot, I forget what it is called, but we all got in the water. We found out that Jacobs mask doesn't fit quite right, of course nobody's does when you have a huge smile!
I had a run in with some fire coral, which I barely brushed up against, but instantly started burning, and blistered. Ouch!
We next went to red frog beach, named so because of the red poison dart frogs that are common in that area. The surf was pretty rough, and we had quite a bit of fun playing there. We also got a lot of sun, and we are sore today.
Today, we are taking it easy. Tomorrow we will catch an early bus to Panama city for our red eye flight Tuesday morning. We will be at the assembly this coming weekend, so see you all soon!

Fishing trip with the Lees
On Thursday, we went fishing with the Lees at a trout farm. Kinda seemed like cheating, as you just have to drop your line under water and a fish would grab on. We caught 8 within a half an hour. Yummy!

Bocas del Toro
Well, we made it to Bocas. There is wifi at a restaurant we are at, hence I am able to blog this. Maybe it's just the fact that we miss Volcán so much, but we all wish we were still there. Tomorrow we will pick a beach to go to, and spend the day there. Fun fun!
Goodbye Volcán!
Well, this is it. We are finally leaving Volcán. Sad to go, but excited to get home so we can adjust our circumstances and come back. We can see Jehovahs blessing on our decisions already, as more potential cleaning jobs are popping up, even before we are home!
The Lees are driving with us down to David, where we will catch a bus up to Almirante, near Bocas. Should be pretty hot near the coast, but at least we will be right on the ocean. Yesterday was the first day I almost burned. This little white boy isn't so white anymore!
Not sure that our Cabaña in bocas has wifi, so chao for now. We will keep our Panamanian cell phone on, and will have that for the next time we are down. Otherwise, we will try to update everyone at the airport on Monday night.
