Day 11- livin' la vida Bocas

It's only fitting that I ate during work first day on the job. Is it my fault they have tasty meat/veggie skewers being vended on the same streets I was hostel bar promoting? Aside from the 5 minute break for food, I'd say my first day on the job went pretty well. Of the 30 young people I talked to in my hour or so promoting, about 25 or so actually ended up coming and some brought friends. It was actually pretty fun, and as a traveler in town for just a few days it's a phenomenal way to meet people outside the hostel and get a better feel for the town. Plus, it's during that downtime in between daytime activity and nighttime festivity, so why not do something that covers my drinks for the night?

Slept in until noon today which was nice given the rise and grind I've had the past 10 or so days between surfing, excursions, and transporting to new destinations.

I walked into town for an amazing fresh mango- strawberry smoothie then started my version of a triathlon... I rented a bike and spun petals to this beach (attached pic, note girl walking on tree) 8km away for some scenery and a quick swim.

I have a little break now but the third leg is running the block 530- 730 promoting the bars and then celebrating the completion of this race with a fun last night in Bocas before my 740am flight to panama city. Work attire? Flip flops, bathing suit, tank, hat. I gotta go get ready! Oh wait I already am..
