Ben says the theme of this vacation is “Sweat, Eat, Repeat” because we started our day with a hike up to the top of Taboga Island’s famous cross lookout point…
See the sandbar we swam on yesterday?
That’s Panama City in the distance.
First, we SWEAT.
Then, it was time to EAT breakfast! 
We left the island after breakfast to head to the cloud forest inland. It was another boat trip and then bus ride. 
We missed the ferry we took yesterday and ended up on a small speedy type boat full of locals. It was cool.
I used these Sea Bands to prevent getting sea sick and they worked! 
A snack on the bus – churros
<insert leftovers for lunch here>
And before hiking we stopped at a bakery for a snack. Tiny coffee.
BIG cookies 
Then, we got sweaty while hiking again. I’m pretty sure Ben will be ready for another 5k when we get home! 
Time to EAT! (Which is always my favorite time.)
Warm brownies with ice cream taste better on vacation. It’s science.
And we’ll repeat it one more day before we head home 🙂
I always crave healthy foods after vacation too. Weske a big batch of vegetable soup and my husband calls it our “detox”!
Whenever you say “it’s science” I always laugh out loud. I don’t know why, you think somehow it would stop being funny, but somehow it just gets me every time!
Being on vacation makes all food taste better I think. I think because I’m more relaxed while eating. Ahhhhhh
Where did you find the Sea Bands and what are your thoughts about them? My oldest daughter gets car sick and we don’t like traveling because of it!! I’m game to try ANYthing!!!
Oh what a lovely view! Although hiking in thongs must have hurt!
Funny story about sea bands – I heard of them when I was working in Hong Kong just a few months ago and the ferry rides and junk boat cruises I was on kept making me throw up. So I was trying to find them at the pharmacy there and the girl at one took me to the birth control aisle when I said my symptoms were motion sickness!! I was like, I don’t sick from THAT kinda motion youknowwhati’mssayin? 😛 #lostintranslationfail
Found them eventually and they are great!
Your feet must be killing you! Looks like a great hike, though…and great food! Mmm gooey brownie.
Ok so totally random comment but: I was watching this short docu on MGM musicals and a lot of it was about Judy Garland and her face reminded me so much of you. So, just so you know, you have a little something Miss Garland in your looks. (I’m talking the early Judy Garland, not when she was heavily addicted to drugs 😉 )
At least I know what I’ll look like if I ever become addicted to drugs! I’ve always thought I should be Dorothy for Halloween – don’t know why I haven’t!
Haha well now you have a good reason to dress up like dorothy! haha!
Looks like you guys are having a blast, but where are your shoes?!
I love the H2OH!
It’s totally science!! Another one – sex is WAY better on vacation!!
I thought I was the only one who hikes in flip flops!
Um, is that a cornbread muffin on your breakfast? It sure looks like it. Cornbread is my addiction- I would rather eat cornbread than chocolate cake. That picture is taunting me.
Yep! Corn Muffin Love.
Panama looks amazing. It is officially on my places to visit, list.
I like that you hike in flip flops 🙂
I kept saying, “Flip-flops were a poor choice…” the entire time. We didn’t expect to hike just then!
Looks like a fantastic time!! I love churros! 🙂
It looks like you’re having a fantastic time. What beautiful sites and waterfalls.
And a day with churros, brownies, and ice cream? I want to come on vacation with you!
