Not fancy living

Swimming, walking, eating were out accomplishments of the day. We did not plan any more. The surf is great, it is warm and people are friendly.
People come out here to Olon to escape or they live out here to begin with. It is attached to the rest of the world by paved roads and has all of the comforts but the locals are dirt poor and getting those comforts is an adventure in it self. Our electricity was sketchy when we got here but it works now. Through that we got to meet the local electrical company.

We have met all the immediate neighbors two of which are expats. They invited us to the weekly Gringo Lunch at a ceviche place in town, a five minute beach walk.  They are nice but definitely not used to having kids around. Cael said he had heard those words before but he was still a bit wide eyed. We also met a nice family that live in Texas but are from here and are vacationing. They had two little girls that played with our two in the surf.

Even though we applied sunscreen we were all pink cheeked at the end of the day. We will need to remember to reapply.
We are very tired and will hit the hay. Sleeping with the surf sound will take a couple of days to get used too. Tomorrow we will walk into town and explore and contact a Spanish teacher. Sleep tight.
