Little Things

Over the past couple of days there have been a couple of things that I´ve forgotten to mention, so here they are:

Panama City - I left my hotel to walk around a bit before I had to check out, so I wouldn´t have to drag my bag around. I got back to my hotel about 15 minutes before it was time to check out, but when I arrived at my room, the door was wide open and the housekeeper was already working away. I´m glad I had already packed up all of my stuff!!!

In General: I started reading another book a couple of days ago and one of the main characters´names is Meg. Is it weird that the way I picture her is Meg from Family Guy?

Boquete: The days have been hot, but not too hot and not too humid. Every day around 4 it starts to rain, hard, but doesn´t last too long. Then, around 6;30 when it´s starting to get dark outside, clouds begin to roll in, engulfing the Chiriqui valley from all directions. I don´t know what´s so special about it and I can´t put into words how neat that is, but I can just sit there and watch the clouds roll in.

Today, after I last posted a blog, I walked around town, grabbed another coffee, and came back to my hostel. Like I had said before, there were 10 empty beds in my room, so I randomly chose the one next to the window, overlooking the Caldera river. What I had not thought about with that decision is that bugs like windows...windows with holes in the screens...windows with holes in screens facing rivers. I was putting up my mosquito net when I had already attracted a spider and a moth on it. At this point, I chose the bed furthest from the window, hoping I´ll have less bugs around me. Thank goodness for sleep sacks and mosquito nets! I really think I´ll need it now. Even as I´m typing this, there are two bugs crawling around the computer monitor. Ick. Right now, I´m thinking the whole hostel thing will be short lived, but I won´t fully decide until after my shower tomorrow morning.
