We had postpond the trip because the turn off for the beach was at the location of the biggest and most vigorous Indian demonstration. Obviously, this delayed our trip.
On our way to San Felix, the town with the demonstrations, we had clear sailing with no delays or crowds of indigenous people...
Until a few miles before San Felix where a large, friendly group of Indians were standing by the road.
Why?
Well, the truce is contingent on the legislature being in session and negotiating a solution.
Clearly, on very short twitter or text message notifying a suspension of the negotiations will result INSTANTLY in a renewal of the demonstrations.
I believe the Indians have a realistic view of "white man's" petulance to screw them. So they are ready!
I can't blame them.
Meanwhile, a wonderful day at the beach was enjoyed by all!
Ah, the beach!

so Good to see that You and Yella were able to get in a little good beach time with Daniel and Lily. Hope the Indians do better with the Panamanian Government than the rest of the Panamanians did when the US gave the canal back to them, and it ended up going to every selfish interest, but the people themselves! Oh well. Glad You and Yella are there to be Compassionate! I am back from India, and working at my part-time job as an accounting/office assistant for a plumbing company we like, and Laura and I are leaving for Nueva Vallarta, Mexico, in 3 days (pacific coast- just north of Puerto Vallarta...) Love You Guys! Give Daniel my best, if He and Lily are still there! Darshan
