We walked into town again today - hah - we said we were going to do that maybe every other day. It's nice to walk around in this valley, and we had wanted to walk in here today to take some pictures of the beautiful flowers that we see everytime we walk, but we decided to walk back into town - to the Boquete visitor center - to reserve a rental car for Monday.
So, on Monday, we'll have a car again! We'll have it for about 3 days, and we're going to use it to check out some areas on the other side of the Baru Volcano. They also told us at the visitor center that Nov. 29 will be a holiday and there will be a big parade in Boquete. Something about another independence day on Nov. 28th. So, we will probably walk into town to attend that parade!! That should be interesting!!
But anyway, after reserving the car, we walked back into Boquete (the visitor center is a little ways out of town) and on our way we passed a little shop called Sugar and Spice. Their billboard outside advertised European breads and sweets, so we decided to check it out. Walking in the door was like stepping into a little European shop and we ended up buying several things - one of them being a sausage/potato empanada, which the owner there calls enchiladas. That was so weird to say we'd like one of the enchiladas, when it was nothing like the enchiladas we know. We also bought a loaf of 9-grain bread, a brownie, a naranjilla empanada and a maracuya empanada.
It was sunny most of the day today, so by the time we reached the house, like usual, we were pretty hot.
We had the sausage/potato empanada for lunch (delicious!) and the naranjilla empanada for dessert at dinner. Also very good! Hmm, we may have a new place to pick up bread and empanadas!
