Sea Injuries and The Liar

Monday, April 5th


Another full-on beach day. The kids were on the beach wellbefore 8am. Jackie and CJ appear to have gotten into a fight with a sea ettle/jellyfish, with nasty rashes to prove it.
Later in the day, we decided to check out the seashell supply on the other beach, as Clark suggested, but found little. On our return, Chris motioned across the sand and stated, “Oh, there’s Clark.” Jackie mumbled, “Clark, the liar.” We may not have scored in seashells but we did see a dead puffer fish! And, it took us four days but we finally managed to wipe out the kids. After being in the sun for 2 days and now sporting numerous battle wounds from the surf and its surroundings, they all happily retired early, moaning and groaning as they shuffled off to their beds and proclaiming, “We will never doubt our moms and dads again.” Annie and Chris headed out in the early evening to collect some
additional groceries; Lee cooked up some
dinner – burgers on the grill, cucumbers and onions
and fried plantains. We have kept our beer choices to the local Panamanian brands.
