Rebecca's favorite Pamama activity

Panama October 19, 2009
Rainy Season Day

We are awakened early this morning by the hypnotic drone of Central American rain on a metal roof. Just the perfect excuse to lay in the hammock, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, listening to the rain and waves while relaxing to a good book. This in fact is the activities which transpire as the day progresses.
As the rain subsides, however, we go for a run together, and Rebecca does some yoga/stretching exercises in a scenic Pacific backdrop fit for a yoga video. It is very nice to run together, an activity we have not shared for quite some time.
After our run, we head into Coronado, and the El Rey for supplies. Of course, this includes micha bread, empanadas, agua botela, and Crunchie bars.
Most of our day is spent reading and in full relaxation mode. However, just prior to noon, the inside front of Palmar begins to look surfable. I paddle out as the tide fills in, while Rebecca soaks up some rays on the fine black streaked sand in front of the Punta. While the waters rise with the tide, the point begins to look inviting, so I paddle outside, and am rewarded with some waist to chest high rollers. The session ends as abruptly as it begins, demonstrating the narrow swell window based on the changing tides.
For dinner, we make our way back to Coronado, and drive around until we arrive at El Carbon, located adjacent to Pizza Picasso, owned by a friend of the Grimison family.
Another early night as darkness descends so completely over Playa Palmar.
