Panama Update #125

Last night (Wednesday) the internet went down at our apartment, and is still out, so I am writing from the library. I talked to Nikki briefly in Baton Rouge last night and she said it was very nice and that I would like it. She went to a Thai restaurant last night. I plan to call her again tonight to see how her talk went. Today (Thursday) I took Laurie on a bike ride on the Causeway. We left about 8:30 AM and got back by 11:00 AM. It is hot and dry this time of the year, with the temperture close to 90 and the humidity a relatively low 65-70. We stopped for a refreshing bottle of coconut water at the halfway point and checked out a nice restaurant on with an ocean view that we may go to later next week. On the way back from the Causeway we stopped at the large artesan mall and Laurie bought a hat. She will probably go back there before she leaves to get some more presents. After that we went to the fruit and vegetable market. It was her first time there and she wanted to get some things to make a stir fry tonight. She got some Bokchoy, onions, garlic, papaya, and pineapple. Her friend Pat arrives in the next couple of hours and tomorrow they leave for the mountains in David.
