Spring Break in Panama City

Wednesday, December 27th, 2006

TeenagersWe’re in the Australian version of spring break in Panama City Beach or Padre Island. Whatever. By that I mean everyone is about 17 years old. Byron Bay is a pretty fun town, although REALLY expensive. Unfortunately for us, this is the time and place for the Aussie high school kids to break it down. So we’re now the beach version of the old guy at the club. If you’re in your 20’s, this may not be the place for you. The good thing is that we looked much younger than our Aussie counterparts, so we didn’t stand out as much as we could have.

I love how everyone changed clothes by their cars, just like on Point Break.

The Big Day

Sunday, January 1st, 2006

That would be New Years Day. The started off with a bang. Finding and using an internet cafe has been somewhat of a challenge on this trip. There are several internet cafes, but none elected to be open New Years morning. I did my standard Wake Up Freakishly Early After Staying Up Until 4:00 AM thing. Big surprise. I walked in to town to find that I could by a latte, a sarong and even some bengay, but I couldn’t get online. Bummer. That’s Australian for bummer, in case you were wondering. Hehe! So I hung out at the beach for a bit waiting for time to meet our spanking new Wwoof host. Scary.
