Last visit with Fernando

Fernando and his friends arrived at our hotel this afternoon and we all walked over to the nearby restaurant for lunch.  Before we left, though, we gave Fernando our cell phone, which we're not going to need anymore.  And the canvas that Guillermo bought in Boquete for his hike on Baru (which he never did go on) went to Fernando also.   We were so glad it was going to a good use!!!  Fernando will use it to cover their gear when they are out in the field.

Look at those hamburgers that Mike and Fernando got!

All of us.  Greg, Mike, Fernando, Christine, Guillermo, Vicki

So, that was it for seeing Fernando on this trip.  He'll be out in the field again for the next few days, so since there's no chance of seeing him anyway, we're going to Nicaragua tomorrow for two days.  Then the following day we'll be back in Liberia and the day after that we head to San Antonio.

We wanted to spend these last few months in Central America where Fernando was going to be anyway, hoping we'd get to see him a few times, and we are very grateful that we were able to see him as much as we did.
