Panama Update #136

Panama Update #136
February 21, 2009

We returned from the Casa de Campo Bed and Breakfast yesterday after staying there for one night. It was a good rest for Nikki after her busy week in Texas. It was in a place called Cerro Azul, which is about 40 minutes from the Tocumen International Airport. It was quiet, the air was clean, the surroundings were scenic (see the pictures below), and the food was wholesome and tasted very good. They were very willing to accommodate our dietary preferences. It cost $80 for the room plus an additional $50 for the 3 meals for two people. Both of us thought the price of $130 was high, but we enjoyed our time there. Added to the $130 was the additonal expense of taking a taxi to and from there, which added on another $60.
There was only one other couple staying there. They were bird watchers from New York. We visited them when we saw them in the dining room. Each one of them had a foot massage and Nikki also had a relaxing massage.
