Panama City Spanish Class and Camp

I didn't work the first week of January, and instead enrolled in a Spanish class in Panama City. We were interested in getting to know the city a little more, eating some good food, and mostly relaxing. The girls attend a nature camp at the Bio Museo, which they loved. After a night at Sortis (C's working on her on blog post about our stay there), we checked out and had a few hours before we could check-in to our regular place, so we decided to map out the route E would need to drive each day to the museum in Amador. I hadn't heard much about the area, so we were pleasantly surprised by how pretty and tourist-friendly the string of islands was. We got smoothies and rented a pedal car. C was so excited that she pedaled and steered the entire hour. We had a lot of laughs, especially since she's not the best driver yet. We were all over the sidewalk and even hit a road barrier! It was soooo hot.

Then one evening that week, we headed to Cinta Costera close to sunset so that we could enjoy the cooler air. It seemed like everyone had the same idea. I loved the family atmosphere with adults and kids getting out to run, walk, and skate together. The playgrounds at Cinta Costera are pretty cool!

The girls were excited about the camp, E got a little break each day, I thoroughly enjoyed being a language student (and I think I improved my Spanish a bit!), and we got to explore together each afternoon. We ate wings, Indian food, pizza, burgers and wraps, burritos; all the foods we'd been missing. It was such a great vacation week.
