Boquete

Thanks to the celebration of Panama's Independence from Spain, we had a three day weekend, so took a girls road trip to Boquete.  It is about 8 hours northwest of Panama City, but feels like a world away.  I wore a hoodie for the first time in six months, which was glorious.  We were surrounded by mountains, there were pine trees everywhere, and the 60 degree weather gave us a great excuse to drink hot chocolate with every meal.  We also got to visit a coffee plantation- all shade grown beans that are sustainably harvested.

Myself, Mallory, Denise, and Julia spent a lovely morning
hiking through the field of coffee beans.

This was the Hotel Bambito- it kind of reminded me of the Kellerman's
Hotel from Dirty Dancing.
