Panama: Day 4

Panama: Day 4
Another fun-filled day

Every morning we would get up (later than dan & shalane...early birds) and go on a quiet morning adventure.  
We believe this was the Survivor ship that carried all the equipment.  They would be unloading and loading while the tide was up.

The local pet deer "Stinky".
This is where they built all the equipment needed for Survivor.
An old hotel that the Survivor crews took over.

It was amazing how many abandoned hotels there were on the island.  Big ones too.  There were probably three this size just rotting.  And of course it looks like they never got finished.  We know that one of the hotels went out of business because the dad died and left it to his sons who had no business experience what so ever. 
It could get pretty hot on the island because of the humidity.  But all you had to do was stick your legs in the water and you were instantly cooled.  It was so refreshing.  Kevin took this picture because he said I finally looked "pregnant."
After a relaxing morning and afternoon, we grabbed our lunch to go and headed to the island.

The boys were taking forever to come out and eat lunch so I had to eat half of mine before.  Those pregnancy hungers are crazy.  Don't mess. 
He caught a red snapper right before lunch.
Hearing about their adventures in the water.  They saw two sharks today.  Made me sick letting Kev go back in the water.  I'm really going to need to work on (not) worrying when baby brower comes along...
So happy.
That captain thought he was the shiz.  We, or I, hated him.  For some reason he believed that for being the captain, he deserved one or two of the best fish.  Every day.  Unbelievable.  And thats on top of his pay of $30 just to take us to the island, drop us off, and pick us up in five hours.  Im telling you...those Panamanians... We weren't willing to give him fish but Eric was "always a gentleman" and gave him one or two of his fish.
And then he felt like he could barter the price of the fish for us.   We were so happy to say Adios to him at the end of the trip.
Another delicious dinner.  We also splurged and got an amazing passion fruit juice that was $10.  So worth it.
After dinner show of Eric's go pro of the sharks.  He thought he got it of him smacking the shark away, but he sadly didn't :(

 On our way back to the B&B we stopped by the market to get treats for the night.  I needed chocolate and sadly the only chocolate they had was a bag of peanut m&ms.  Not a favorite of mine but I still got them.  They tasted like heaven not having American sugar for a week.
