Most perfect day ever #2! Thursday we slept in (all perfect days start with that), then we took a drive up to Cerro Punta to the Finca Dracula Orchid Farm with the Kentucky crew and Cliff and Sheila Vickerman. Besides the drive itself up through the mountain and hillside gardens, the orchid farm was very cool. I think they had hundreds of different orchids along with other amazing plants. Since we were in the rainforest it started to rain. No worries, we just found a gazebo to stay dry in. A perfect place to get to know knew friends over wine, cheese and crackers pulled straight out of Sheila's daypack. On the way down the mountain, we made a stop at a local ice cream stand. All homemade, including coconut!!! It was a splurge, even for a 3rd world country. Dave's banana split cost $5! Most of our meals here cost less than that. But, it was a work of art and truly scrumptious. It's funny, at home we wouldn't have even thought twice about paying $5 for ice cream, but in the world of relativity, it was a little pricey. That night, it was our last night with our fellow Kentuckians, so we all ate at the local Italian place. More good food and reminiscing about our already too short of time together here in Panama.
