Our Papa-day/Abel bday weekend getaway to Isla Contadora, one of the 100 Pearl Islands off Panama's pacific coast...50 miles from the city
we took the ferry at 8 am...a bit early for us but we made it!
it was a totally smooth ride on a new, clean catamaran
$78 roundtrip p/person
one and a half hour ride
(and yes, aiyana is wearing long sleeves and layers in this heat....it's what she does and i choose my battles)
my little cutie sportin her pink panama hat
once we got the island we had to take a little boat to the sand...no piers...and the water?...well....ya
we stayed at Villa Romantica which has one of the best locations on the island but desperately needs a little remodeling help
and the perfect view from our window...we napped with the doors wide open listening to nothing but the lapping of the waves...and i fell asleep wondering if i might just turn into an island gypsy
and to keep the littles occupied they had a huge chess set
we left our perfect little beach and decided to walk around and find another through the thick rain forest
and down a little road until....
we found another little piece of paradise
and played in the tiny little waves and soaked up the ocean air and a bit too much sun
there was a little river that ran to the sea where satya compiled her treasures
and aiyana basked in her perfect "papa-day" (as she calls the weekends)
and i fully inhaled the serenity of escaping from the city to a most magical place even if just for a night
and i soaked in those sweet moments when life feels complete and sweet and where i have to stop myself from gobling up these delicious babes
and then we walked back
and ate and breathed in our last moments of our little isla getaway
