Nana and Pop Visit Day Three

 On Saturday, we decided to head to Boquete. It takes us about an hour and 15 minutes or so to get to Boquete on a windy, hilly road down the mountain and then part of the way back up. It has some great views on it though!

This waterfall is on the way down the hill. It sure is amazing the things you can see on the side of the road if you just keep looking.

This is one of our favorite stops on the way down the mountain. It is lovingly referred to as "Grandpa's bridge." Grandpa and Ben crossed it last February when they came to check out the area. Nana didn't want to step on it, but everyone else went across! It sways a little when you step! There was a big pile of rocks and sand in the middle. Did the river, at some point, deposit them way up there? If so, that would have been a lot of water going under the bridge!

The next stop we had was in the neighborhood of Valle Escondido in Boquete. This is a great little neighborhood with a ton of plants to see. It is set up kind of like a little European village and includes a restaurant, golf course, spa, chapel, hotel, houses and more.

Walking around the grounds at Mi Jardin es Su Jardin is always fun. There are tons of plants to see of all colors, shapes and sizes! Best thing about this place is that it's free to the public! It's a beautiful location.

Another great place the kids love to go is to the natural climbing wall. This is amazing! It's really big and just has to be seen in person. All the rock layers and the way it looks make it a site to see! We love going here and climbing up just a little.

The views here are just amazing! This waterfall is so tall and the greenery around it is magnificent! It is something you have to see to really appreciate! I love how a simple picture can turn into a work of God's art.

We turned around after seeing this sign... What was it trying to tell us?

The main reason to head back to Boquete was a need for some ice cream for snack!

And some shopping! The little alley has a lot of souvenirs from the area. This is always a fun place to go. Saturday was almost over at this point. Time to head back to Volcan after dinner!
