Nana and Pop Visit: Day Two

Volcan Baru from the house on the hill with a view of the neighborhood.

We live in the first house and plan to flip it and the house next to it in the picture.
This is the house (or clubhouse or restaurant) on the hill with a covered pavilion next to it. We plan to open our library in here and eventually move into here when everything inside is moved around and fixed.
Walking up the hill to get a view of the volcano.
Worth it. On a clear day, the volcano looks amazing. I was being attacked by ants to take the picture!
This is a great little park in Volcan with seesaws, slides, and things to climb on.
Perhaps we need one more child to fill up all of the letters. We really enjoy living in Volcan. Nana and Pop with all the grandkids at the Volcan sign.
We took a quick self tour of the Jansen Coffee Farm after we went to the Friday Volcan market.
Here Nana is under a really cool tree tunnel.
Then we headed to the Sitio Barriles here in Volcan. This is an interesting sight but we don't know much about it other than what we've read online. We got to walk around and see the plants and some of the artifacts that have been uncovered. Hopefully we can return and get a guide to show us around and tell us about the place!
We crossed a lot of creeks with little bridges made out of bamboo. The plants were pretty amazing and when you get to the edge of their property and look into the next one, it's a place where cattle graze or farmland with very few plants.
Going down a little slope. Signs pointing which way to go would have helped too!
This is one of the famous statues that they have uncovered. Or a replica of it as the original was taken to a museum in Panama City. We paid $1 each to tour this place.
To end the day, we headed to our regular Friday evening Bible study with friends. It was nice to get to introduce Nana and Pop to the people we have met here!
We did a lot of stuff while Nana and Pop were in town visiting us and took a lot of pictures!
