Landed in David, Panama this morning and Gerardo my private tour guide picked me up at the gate. He took me up to Volcan and we stopped for some local coffee at Black Mountain Coffee shop. We also saw Cerro Punta, Bambito, and Guadalupe all on the western side of Volcan Baru the highest point in Panama. We dropped the luggage off at my Airbnb in Alto Boquete then Gerardo gave me a brief pre-tour drive-by of downtown Bajo Boquete. Had Gerardo drop me off so I could walk around downtown before climbing back up the mountain to my Airbnb. TIRED thanks to Fitbit I see that I have as many steps today as I normally get in a whole week and these were all either up or downhill no flat areas. Looking forward to my last tour day tomorrow. Gerardo is going to take me through all the towns on the eastern side of Baru Volcan with Boquete. Oh, the strawberries are from Guadalupe and they are terrific. They remind me of the ones I used to snitch from my grandma’s garden as a kid.
