Panama - Part 2

On the 14th we got up early to take our flight to San Blas and the Ticantiki island. Here is the plane that take us to the strip of asphalt next to the jungle where we could board the boat to take us to the island.













Here is the boat that all 9 of us climbed in to take us over to the island. We were lucky to get the large boat with a motor on the back.















These is part of our welcoming committee on the island. We were very well taken care of and loved bay all the little ones.












We starting the day by setting up our hammocks in the hut behind the church, that is usually used for primary. We had little Kuna Indian kids following us everywhere we went. They were so friendly and happy to see some new faces. We walked out to the beach where they do baptisms. This is their clean beach and was beautiful. The kids had some fun and played in the water, even without their swimsuits.






























Here is a shot of one of the pottys on the island. Yes, they are just a whole right into the ocean. Crazy!









My Dad handed out tootsie rolls to the kids, who were in heaven for a little sugary treat. We did a little service on the island moving dirt from the middle of the island to the area where they get their water that gets a little soggy. We were treated to some flute dancing by the locals. Camden brought a roll of string and the kids taught the Kuna kids how to play cats cradle, which was cool to watch since we couldn't communicate with one another.










































We got to try some Pipa (Coconut milk), while getting eating by bugs! The coconut milk was not great and I think the bugs left a better impression. This last photo shows the traditional dress of the Kuna Indian women. These ladies were at the airport with us trying to get on our flight to the city. There are many more great photos from the trip, but just too many to post. This was a great day that left great impressions on each of us. What a simple life these people live.
